I posted picks of the 2.5 hp motor and its controller. I already had the belt drive on the mill. I had to make taller spacers to allow for the longer motor shaft. I sawed the hub off the origional treadmill motor flywheel and turned it into a v-belt pulley.
Works great, haven't been able to stall it yet. According to the DRO, the motor runs 38-2660 rpm on the low speed pulley setting. Plenty of range for me.
The only thing I don't like about it is that I have to turn the speed pot about half way up to get the motor to start, then back the speed down to what I need.
This is the MC-60 tradmill controller. I have another one just like it and another 2.5 hp motor for the lathe if I ever need it.
I received the mosfets to repair the origional controller, but don't think I'll bother...
