pulley dims for boxford csb

Brian,

Why not look for a 2nd hand 3ph motor and A VFD. It might cost you an extra few quid but you'll only need one pulley and also gain infinite vary speed, slow start, quiet & smoother running, simple reverse (for threading with half-nut closed) etc. etc.

hi bill, yes l,v been told this what sort of money are we talking about?l know you have build many machines in your time so excuse my ignorance,but what about an industrail sewing machine motor, be honest the one that came with my lathe l,m pretty sure is one.lm throwing it out as nobody is able to work the wiring out.By looking on ebay these motors are clutch operated push handle down stops pulley-pull up allows pulley to revolve, bit like a brake or emergency stop.theres a 3pin socket on motor guessing this is for the foot pedal,when you plug a sewing m/c in doesn,t start its only when you plug foot control into m/c put pressure on starts motor ,more pressure applied faster it goes,so l know l must be missing something here but is that not a variable speed control.If wiring was changed to increase/decrease via knob why would this not work and why are these motors so cheap one on gumtree brand new one £20 the one l.m throwing out hums then when you kick start the pulley starts. l think it would work if l got a 3pin foot conrol thats why it wont start on its own but l want a new smaller one so its going -excuse the grammer(one cut)
