| 462 forum posts 113 photos | John, Noel - the motor is clearly marked 60Hz 240V, and if you look at the closeup of the speed controller, inside the red box it looks like the one I linked to. But I must confess I haven't tried my controller ( used for an old electric drill) on an induction motor. I wouldn't expect it to work. |

| 7227 forum posts 21 photos | A bench grinder for £12.50 sounds like a bargain. Definitely one for the DIYer's Black Museum, to my mind. Wonder how well the Headstock is aligned to the Bed? With difficulty? Maybe a sow's ear waiting to be changed into something better, but will take a lot of work and time to become a silk purse or anything approaching it. But it is a starting point for a budding machinist to gain experience Howard. |
