1/2 HP Grainger/Dayton adjustable speed drive. 115/230V single phase motor driving a dual adjustable speed pulley setup, sort of like a mini Bridgeport vari-speed head. Output speed from 705RPM to 4230 RPM, chosen by a 14 turn hand crank with indicator dial.

Identical (except for color) to the one on Graingers website here:

Unit is used but fully functional. This spent it's life spinning a small

3-jaw chuck holding parts for a sort of deburring/beveling operation. I had all sorts of plans for this, but I need space. Take a good look at the specs and use your imagination!

Grainger used to get near 700 bucks for this. This is in my way. Make me an offer(i'm pretty hard to insult), plus shipping from 01826. Available for pickup if you happen to be passing through Dracut, MA.

Thanks, Al

Hmm ... Apparently, Comcast (or your news server) decided to "protect your privacy" by snipping the middle out of the URLs, rendering them useless.

Perhaps printing the first part (which they left alone) on one line:

Then whatever was in "v4...e" on a second line,

And finally the various:

on other lines, to allow us to glue everything back together.

Good Luck, DoN.

Thanks for pointing that out, Don.

I wasn't sure whether it was you last time or not. :-)

That works, too.

I do find myself wondering what the label partially hidden by the motor mount bracket says. It only shows in one photo -- P4140011.jpg.

But in any case -- it looks too heavy and too large for what I was thinking of using it for -- and *way* too much torque. :-)

You're welcome.

Good Luck, DoN.

Don, FYI, the partially hidden label has instructions for changing the belt.

I did not know it was possible to have "too much" torque... (heh)

I'm on Comcast, and this does not happen to me. More likely, it's the newsreader that's helpfully abbreviating the URLs. Usually the brackets will prevent the abbreviating.

O.K.

When you're planning to hang it on a Taig -- just the weight would topple the baseplate of the Taig. :-) Everything else seems to have the motor that it needs.

Enjoy, DoN.
