Dude, that's badass! I have one of those and it completely sucks out of the box. I have to switch it on, then spin it manually for it to get going and once it's going, it bogs down so easily. I am going to do this with mine!

@dadlife9921 Год назад

With that open motor you are going to want to fab some kind of dust shield to prevent or minimize the amount of metal dust that gets inside the motor. At the very least, you’ll want to blow that thing out frequently using compressed air. Or, eventually find a sealed motor.

And if possible move all grinding sanding and cutting to a second room or one corner of the workshop

I am curious why you didn't use the original pullies and just switch them.

The HF link is dead and it looks like they discontinued this model...too bad, I wanted to get one and try the upgrade

@alasdair4161 Год назад

I'd also fab up a new belt guard once pulley sizes are settled. It's too easy to mutilate a finger or three with hands working around open V pulleys. I did a similar mod to one of the 914mm horizontal belt sanders, although I gutted the junk internal motor and fitted a V pulley into the armature core by using spacers to maintain the motor frame and bearing positions. I then cut a slot in the right end of the cast iron body and fitted a proper BTH induction motor outside and on a false base. That thing has served me for nearly 20 years of hard metal grinding, only shredding the internal tooth belt once (the Chinese original) but the Gates replacement has lasted about 18 more years... lol. It's one of the best upgrades you can do, apart from fitting my pedestal drill with a 2KW DC motor with PWM speed control, reverse and auto start... Always hot rod your workshop gear...

Can you repeat that?

@ogt92fromthe1step9 Год назад

I genuinely like this idea, by putting a larger motor on it for more torque output. But what is the total Max RPM of the belt and what is the RPM of the motor. You can get those motors in a 3600 RPM or a 1800 RPM. You'll want to match your belt accordingly once you figure out your pulley ratio. Those hobo freight induction motors suck!! I went through three of them. It started up and ran fine for a day and then just internally short. The field windings have the worst coating of epoxy and fail right out of the box or shortly after. I finally opted to go a different route and just ran a treadmill motor after the 3rd one. Hope you have better luck with them. Also being dual capped has nothing to do with startup speed it only means one is your startup capacitor and one is your run capacitor.

Any updates? Im about to attempt the same conversion, but dont want to disassemble it if it's not worthwhile. Thanks!

@a.joegevara3519 9 месяцев назад

I was just reading reviews on the new model. Seen this suggestion. New one is 3-bills, 3hp motor is 2+bills, new pulley and bearings = better model?? If I went this route I'd just go ahead and add a motor drive/inverter. That route, I could get a 3~ motor (pretty much any HP I wanted) free to offset the cost of the inverter! Inverter control would control start up, you could have it soft start and ramp up, even adjust the Hz to run more efficiently. But like you state; not wanting to be culpable for anyone else's electrical abilities ;)

With a pulley system driving something that has resistance, Dont go to small on the driven pully wheel The driven needs the pulled torque the longer arm gives. Go big on the driver, but dont go to small on the driven.

@e-racer4673 5 месяцев назад

He on this video that he has $500 roughly in this one and the grizzly belt sander. The same size will cost you $500 but it’s not near as strong as this one is now.
