Something I've been meaning to do for ages, replace the 3 phase feed motor on my mill with this DC motor.
I didn't have any steel big enough so I welded three bits of flat bar together, then cut, ground and machined it round, flat, and bored to match the 1" register on the front of the motor. The bigger holes are tapped M6. I'm quite proud of how it came out, considering it was 40x8mm flat
.
The motor has 4 threaded holes, 0.134"-32, I didn't have any so I machined some. These are the first two I made, my next two attempts I snapped the threaded section off, so I gave up.
The gear is held on with roll pins, the thick grey ring is what the original motor bolted to. Now I need to make a 60 VDC power supply and controller
