I don't like the elec. motor that came with the lathe I bought.
I'm looking for one like on the Unique lathe. Help! Thanks, Mike

any motor shops in your area? we have one right down the street. i can get any type of motor i need for anything

just wondering what dont you like?

i kept the motor but modified the mounting bracket for less movement

Save some money.

Keep in mind that you will need a controller for the DC motor.

motor controller

i also converted mine to dc. i still have a extra used controller. it doesn't have a reverse on it though. mine is set up with forward and reverse. since i went to dc i have had 0 problems with motors. they are worth the money.

can someone help me out. what problems are you having. ive had my hightower lathes for years and not a problem yet. is there something i should look out for. whats the advantages to a dc motor?

I don't like the pulley set or that you can't ramp up the speed. To me this a
BIG Safety Problem waiting to happen. I like Willee's setup and it looks like
a great price.
