the gear you point at rides on a shaft that is attached to a flat pivot bar. Near the bottom of that pivot bar should be a allen head screw that you loosen and then push the gear so that it meshes with the one above it.

Bandsaw maybe two bandsaws, If I had room I would have 3 bandsaws. One(vertical) for wood, one(horizontal) for cutting bar stock and one(vertical) for cutting shapes into flat metal. Second would be a bench vise, then a bench grinder, then a drill press , next a lathe and finally a milling...

Love that tower of small parts storage, very nice !!!!

Thanx Troyo, I was simply trying to figure out if that is what John Rudd meant by grounding the motor. The way I currently have it wired up is in my post#102. This works fine but it does not put the motor to full speed but rather just doubles the speed of the potentiometer.

Like this John? Maybe add a diode so it do feedback into the controller?

Luc that is why I am on these forums, a big thanx for Troyo for starting this thread. Rod here is a pic from earlier, I will post a video once the mill is put back together.

Well I am finished , she works good. My motor alignment is still off a lil but not enough to hurt anything. Here is a diagram of how I wired mine

I'm thinking this is working with coming off the 555 timer and putting a NO momentary between it and the wiper. I tested it a lil more today with different speeds and letting it run a few minutes to see if anything got hot and all was well. I do thank you Luc for your help, but I am a lil...

Well Luc , tried using my digital multi tester to see if I would get a bouncing reading on the wires you mentioned and all read 12 volt. But I did a lil experiment, by touching one of the 555 timer leads to the wiper, it sped up like a charm. I have to look at a 555 timer schematic again, I...

I think I will buy a test light tomorrow, your first prescription sound easier and safer

Luc, can I do the same thing with a multi tester( I don't have a test light)? wouldn't the numbers jump around be the same thing as flashing? I should also point out the power supply I have is one that only has the two prong plug, so should I wire up a three prong and run a ground in from the...

Man, I have re read this post several times and I still missed this part where he tried jumping the gnd to motor negative. Seems like an easy test to try.

Yeah I tried the wiper to the power, it speeds up for a split second and then cuts off. I also tried disconnecting the ground. On the other smaller controller I shorted the ground to the wiper and it sped the motor up but looks like this larger one isn't going to do it. I think I seen...

Bummer, no rapid by shorting the wiper and ground together. But upon further reading of Troyo's original post he said he used a NC switch on just the ground alone, so I will try that next. Fortunately this controller is marked in English as to where the ground and wiper are.

Yeah it is kool stuff, I worked at a tool and die shop and our machines didn't go that fast. The machinists I worked with liked to peck drill everything as do I. As to these machine and cutters being for hobbyist, no not really, but hey if you can throw down $150k for cnc machine and cutters...

Well new controller came in yesterday and hooked it up, runs perfect !!! Runs slower speeds with out any erratic behavior like the previous controller However it is larger so today I will be re drilling the mounting holes , I will also try the momentary switch out and see if I can get it to do...

Great little shop Tony, amazing what some fresh white paint does to a small space, opens it right up. Easier on the eyes too.

This is why I use http://imageshack.us/ I have photos on the web that are 13 years old, so I basically use it as a back up for my photos along with cd copies of course, but hey if they ever burn up in a fire or whatever, I can always jump online and download the pics, just sayin ....

If an electrics supply house was close by , yes. But since stuff is being shipped, the shipping charges are ridiculous. And thank you for putting that diagram up, that looks like an easy build.

Decided and ordered a new controller last nite from a hopefully different Ebay seller, still out of China. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CW82ZPG/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 I really wanted to get this other one I found, http://www.electronickits.com/kit/complete/motor/CKMX033.htm I...
