Hf Mini Mill How Do I Convert To A Treadmill Motor?

[Danny Mayes]

Anyone know a good way to do this mod? I have the Air Spring conversion already.

Thanks

If you have the flywheel that came on the motor, use the small diameter part to make a v-belt pulley.
Do you have the belt drive conversion? My X2 had the belt drive on it. I had to make longer spacers for the motor to fit the mount plate.
Here's some pictures of my setup: http://s571.photobucket.com/user/chucketn/library/Mill tradmill motor conversion

Hey Chuck,
Are you using the mills electical to power the treadmill motor? If so, how is that working for you?
I have a bunch of motors from the one in your pic to 3 and 4 hp. I've saved the control boards (MC60) and can run the motor of that.
