Greetings; I have this thing running well enough that its cut some lathe-pawns out of air and usually winds up with the toolpost within a thou of where it started.
Hawever the curves in this chess game piece have also served to demonstrate that this little 225 oz motor may not be the endall as it has on several occasions suffered a stall at about 30 IPM. At 20 its fine, and at 40 its fine, but its having trouble getting past 30, particularly when slowing down. Now, I know that my long steel bobbin with 8 or so huge fenders lightly squeezed with a layer of 1/8" powdered sheet rubber per washer work great on exactly this motor, easily doubling its top speed on my mill and on TLM's z motor. But where this motor is on the sheldon, behind the new apron, I do not have room for one of those as they are 3 to 3.5" long. But I would have room for a narrow roller skate wheel with maybe 10 buckshot in cross drilled holes about 1/16" bigger than the buckshot, with the hole half filled with heavy chassis grease, retained by threaded plugs, or maybe tight fitting plastic plugs glued in to keep the grease from flying away. Is any one selling such a critter, or do I have to make a onsie? I've bought 2 more triple stack motors, about 2x the torque of this one, one of which is single ended, one a 4 wire, one an 8, both read like they'd be happy on this M542T driver if the driver is happy at full song. Thoughts? Thanks. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
