Thread: Chester Micro-Mill motor

Silly question, but do these need a transformer or plug straight in from mains power?

A low cost solution is a 12v DC scooter motor with a PWM speed controller. This seems to be an increasingly popular setup being used on small model makers lathes such as the Unimat. Motor and controller can be had off ebay for about £30. I don't know how much torque they have but I'm guessing it would be at least equil or better than a sewing machine motor. Hope that helps.

Could you provide a link to something you think might work? Thanks

Hi

Thanks for suggestions - he has replaced the motor with various sewing machine motors that quickly burn out (may that be the controller board?) - he asked me about a lathe motor he has been impressed with that has lasted him for years a Parvalux PM11 517495/3D and is thinking of putting on his Micro Mill - my Dads 81 and quite ingenious so is comfortable adapting the machines to fit his needs. He makes model ships/miniature furniture and other miniatures that take his fancy.
