Low RPM Motor??

3 phase motor and a VFD controller will give you zero to max rpm. I have this arrangement on a grinder and a lathe. Love it.

If this project has a $500 budget no problem. Just get a DC gear motor and a control board.

Please be careful with any gear motor it may only be 1/20 of a horse power it is geared so low it is all but unstoppable.

If your budget can’t pay for new you will need to scrounge around and find some used parts.

I'd look for a DC gear motor and a KB speed controller.

There are a couple of decent videos of it on youtube. Here's one:

I bought a really nice 510 last spring, but haven't gotten around to trying it out yet, other than to plug it in and run it before I loaded it up. I'm missing a part for the guard on mine. I actually bought some parts to build a pork chop style guard, but haven't cobbled it together yet. The feed feature works fine for now. I am considering splurging for a Tersa head at some point.

I've had my 570 since 1986. It has been a great machine. I did see his video and am now searching for the "stuff".
