i got tried of cranking the screw style tailstock when coreing, so i rube goldberg this set up. it is a gear reduction 24 volt 2 amp dc reversable motor, a 110 ac to 24 volt dc 10 amp converter, an forward, reverse, and off switch. a few pulleys, a sewing machine belt and a homemade bracket. i made the bracket from a piece of aluminum angle. it was easy to cut and i had to make many adjustments to make everything fit. i will replace the bracket with one made from steel as i now have a template. it is setting on this end of the delux just for the photos. i do need help to finish this project, i can now core very soft woods. the unit will turn at approx one revolution per second, but thats too fast for harder woods in my opinion. i want to install a speed controler, but don't really know what type to use and where to install it. all criticisms, suggestions, and comments welcomed.
