Sheesh... You gave it 15 minutes before getting anxious about an answer LoL
I like the 1hp Consew motor with a smaller pulley for more torque. That motor definitely has more nuts than the Penn motor.
Have you asked Mr. Hightower?
I bought sewing machine motor off e bay , $110 shipped . Use for coring and everything .
yes but the head stock is not movable
You can get a 1 hp Consew and they sell a smaller pulley for more torque.
I have a 6’ bed and don’t need to move the motor.
Is this like the consew you use? Thanks
It’s close but I like this one and buy the 45mm clutch motor pulley. You will see it below the unit in Amazon. I think they are $8. The only thing that is a PITA is figuring out how to reverse the motor. Once I got that figured out, I haven’t had any problems. The handle for speed control works great on this one and others I’ve seen have had to be modified to get them to work.

you don't know what you are missing
What exactly am I missing? I can do everything I need to right at the headstock and have a more powerful, longer lasting motor. Those Penn motors won’t outwork one of the servo sewing machine motors.

This has been a solid motor also. Designed to be used with a foot pedal because of the brakes but if you pull the break shoes off (2 screws) it works as normal motor with speed dial and reverse

I would be interested in pics of your AC motor solution.
