You can drill and tap the motor end covers. It's probably best to remove them to do this. I am sure I have seen boxes specifically meant for this that pick up on the screws holding the motor together. My solution was a bit different: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/_yTAiDN3uUH1bGzbZiDfR9MTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink I crimped a home-made flange onto some flexible conduit and screwed it to the motor. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
