Hi Mark. Hopefully that motor will work out OK. I wondered if Warco keeps spare motors in stock. I guess they would be expensive though. Hope the move is going OK. Take care. Nobby
I’m surprised that you didn’t go with one of those sewing machine servo conversion kits. I used a kit to upgrade my lathe motor to 750w 1hp and I have plenty speed and plenty torque. The servo is half the size of the 500w motor and fits perfectly.
You made that motor change look easy. Nice video.
@@GlennNowOnTH-cam 👍😂
A good motor makes such a difference. I saw on my lathe a big difference. Nice work
@@RustyInventions-wz6ir thank you

@@taranson3057 I wasn’t aware of them, I will look into it. Thank you
Only 700 RPM? That seems very low for this little machine. To make small pieces in soft material, you will need much more.
@@Rustinox I have been thinking about it and I am going to change the gearing. But it will have to wait until I regain my interest in it 😂😂
i don't think a 550watt is tat big either. my current oem setup is a 800w and i want to install an 1100 watt to upgrade it, or even go 2hp AC.
@@mike9500 I think I have only ever made one thing on it, the problem with having 2 lathes of similar abilities is, you only ever use one 😂😂
I dont think your speed dial is accurate. Seemed like 1000 plus rpm when you did your speed test .
@@ralphyo6285 you’re probably right 👍
