I would wonder if the duty cycle of the average drill motor is greater
or less than that of the mill motor? And since a power feed has at most
a couple of minutes of operation from stop to stop I suspect that
someone would be there to smell the smoke and unplug it! Perhaps even
use a fire extinguisher as required! I think that you are either solving
a non existent problem or inventing a problem to solve! Bill
