Contact me at www.servomotorkit.com Than we can swap images and measurements to see what is possible. The first kit was actually listed today at www.servomotorkit.com/product-page/bolton-b290vg-lathe-motor-upgrade-2-hp-servo-bldc Thanks
@maxausterweil8829 I have the newer 1130v and was wondering the same thing. Did you ever put this on your lathe? If so how does it do with heavier cuts in steel?
@danielmartin382 I have the Precision Matthews 1130V and would like to use this motor but utilizing the factory controls which have many more functions than this lathe had originally
Hi Darryl. Almost all our systems are 120 volt, We suggest 1 hp ~ 1.3 hp. The best for your lathe depends on available space and what you plan to machine. There are a few options on the drive. Realistically you will not need the toothed belt so a single 5mm v pulley is suitable. If you decide to use the toothed low gear belt: What is the bore on your existing motor pulley? Does the motor still run so you can cut a new pulley or bore a second pulley? There are many varibles to consider. I would fit this motor if possible see: www.servomotorkit.com/product-page/1-000-watt-servo-motor-external-1-34hp-12-nm-torque-300-3-500-rpm If that is too large consider: www.servomotorkit.com/product-page/750-watt-servo-motor-driver-1-0hp-10-nm-torque We do not have a kit for your lathe yet. We would be happy to work with you to make one. To start we will need images of the belt drive and motor. When finished there should be a complete kit with end results, images, videos and specs. We will ask you for copy's of certain parts and pay you for them. Optionally we can wholesale you motors and you sell your kit on our site as well as anywhere else you see fit. Start by contacting me through our web site: www.servomotorkit.com Thank you for your interest. Dan
@@danielmartin382 The motor is roughy 11" long an 5.25" in diameter, I looked at your website , an leaning towards the 1500 wat 2 hp w/ VFD. I will take off the motor pulley to check the shaft, it's chinese lathe , hope its 15mm shaft, lol I will be in touch soon
Darryl We have a customer building a Grizzly 9972 with the 2 hp right now. This is the same design lathe as your G4000, just a couple sizes larger. Contact me on the website and I will send you some images of what he is doing. He chose to buy a second pulley and bore it to fit the motor. 1500 W for your lathe is overkill. Still the 1500 is my motor of choice simply because it is so solid and performs real well (often called a beast by those turning 4 foot long wood blocks). These are not VFD, They are Brush-less computer controlled DC motors with large bearings and motor shafts. Their are 12 fields inside (3 sets of 3 fields) and intensely strong magnets on the armature. Generally twice the torque of most motors with the same watt ratings. We have several customers who replaced their 750W BLDC with ours who state: Their lathe stalled out with the original 750 and not with ours. I bet the shaft is 13 mm or less. thanks Dan
Excellent video
Do you know if this kit would fit onto a precision Matthew’s PM-1127VF-LB ?

I’d like to show you a set up using a bldc motor driven by a variac no fancy motor control…
I have a grizzly G4000 lathe 110v single phase , I need to stay with 110 voltage , what do you offer in a 1 hp set up?? Darryl
