I recently dumpster dove for a couple of 24 volt 400-600 (estimated) Watt, 3000rpm motors with controller off a Ranger II (1999) wheel chair. They each have a gear box that should be either 18:1 or 24:1. Would these be good for converting to a variable speed drill press? I need a power source as these ran off 2 12v car size batteries. I haven't been able to determine the exact specs of the motors as the manufacturer is not cooperating, and the motors have a minimal amount of information. Any suggestions on obtaining a reasonably priced power source? How many amps?
