May 19, 2005, I replaced the lathe motor with a Sears' Lifestyler 1400 treadmill direct current motor and controls. I previously install the low speed idle pulley set on my Shoptask. I was able to use one of the pulleys on the DC motor. The pulleys with the bronze bushing removed, has a 5/8 inch bore and key way, the same sizes as the DC motor. I only needed to buy a set screw for the pulley. Two of the treadmill motor mount holes line up with the AC lathe motor mounting plate. A DPDT toggle switch is added to the control panel to reverse the spindle. The order below, left to right: Overview, motor, pulley and front of motor and modifies control panel. The speed indicator reads in tenth of mile. and controlled by a magnet pickup. I am looking into a conversion formula and mounting the magnet someplace on the spindle for RPM readout.
