    Re: Shop project variable speed band saw

    I added one more component.  If you turn the dial all the way down the motor turns off but the circuit still has power and I didn't want to burn anything up so I purchased some 110AC LEDs and wired one to the switch so  when the switch is on, even if the motor is not running, I have indication that the system is still on. 

    If it isn't broken...modify it anyway! http://www.DazeCars.com https://galaxieforum.boardhost.com

    I used the same setup and put one of these motors on my lathe.  AMAZING!!!!  
    I wish I had done this years ago.  My lathe/mill is a harbor freight unit and has served me well for 10+ years, but recently I upgraded from the 3" chuck to a 5" chuck and I did the treadmill motor swap and these are both mods I wish I had done a long time ago.  It's like having a totally different machine.
