A year or two ago I added a table power feed to my mill. It works great and I'm more than satisfied with the results. I have heard of machinists using wiper motors(windshield wipers) to drive the feed on their equipment. I want to add a feed to my quill (z axis) using a wiper motor and was wondering if anyone has done this to their mill (or other equipment). Wiper motors typically are 12V and run at 3 to 6 amps with 12 to 17 pounds of torque. Any pointers or words of wisdom?
Thanks ahead of time.
