Re: Boxford tlc 160 motor
Boxford themselves advertise a replacement main motor for £243, plus VAT presumably.

Re: Boxford tlc 160 motor
The motors for 125 & 160 are listed as the same part, I've got a fully working 125 I'm planning to convert to 3 phase shortly, part of the plan was stripping out the motor and control circuitry & bunging it on ebay but I'm open to offers, drop me a PM if you're interested

Re: Boxford tlc 160 motor
Hey Magiciner, sorry to dredge up a old thread. Did you ever convert your tcl to 3ph? Im looking to do the same. I'm starting to think about what motor to use for size and how to fit that to the pulley belt system. very early days this end but i'd love to see what someone else has done for inspiration, intersting to see the boxford part above too.
Re: Boxford tlc 160 motor
I am currently bringing to life my boxford lathe and going to put in a Yaskawa J1000 VFD now I am looking for a dual voltage motor but don't want to spend much... I am from Yorkshire by the way so not too expensive
Re: Boxford tlc 160 motor
That was a long time ago . I replaced the motor with a flange mounted 3 phase 1.5 kw motor mounted on the rear of the cabinet. I then fitted the VFD inside the cabinet. The motor drove only one pulley and had enough power to do all speeds necessary. I have since done 4 like this and all sold no problem .Works much better than Boxford's effort.

Did you manufacture the mounting yourself?

Re: Boxford tlc 160 motor
I modified the motor mount from the machine . I fitted spacers to fit the motor and fit the pully to the motor shaft . The spacers push the motor out so the pully lines up. the motor pully guard is cut to cover the new motor that is now on the outside of the machine . Sounds a bodge but it looks and works quite well . I use TEC 2.2 KW 3 Phase 2 pole Motor 230/400V 50HZ Foot Mount 3 phase B14 mount. got the motor slightly wrong in last post.
