Thanks to all who replied. I'm thinking that though it's not PWM I will be trying a KBLC-19 on my mini-lathe since it's what I have on hand. I have a question on the correct Horsepower resistor to...

All the KB controllers using PWM are considerably more expensive. I was trying do do this on a budget as I don't know if the gains will be that noticeable. If you have any recommendations on a...

I don't think I've ever seen the specs on the FC250 contoller that came in the lathe, except that it might only supply 50VDC to the motor on the high end. I have seen posts calling it the weak link,...

The reversing should be handled by swapping the motor leads via the FWD-OFF-REV sw. I don't know about the continuous duty but the specs claim 1000w and the motor on my lathe is only 250w. That...

Do you think something like this would work??
6-90V 15A DC Motor Speed Controller Pulse Width PWM Speed Regulator Switch 16KHz. Once again I was just trying to get a little more performance out of...

Thanks for the info. I'll take a look at it.

Thanks Albert. I know that the PWM technology would be better but it is quite a bit more expensive.

I have a HF 7X14 lathe that I would like to get a little more performance out of. I have read many threads, here and elsewhere, about motor changes; gear reduction systems; etc. I believe that my...
