Original motor from 1986 gone bad? Busy Bee B-244 lathe, speed is all over the place plus big current draw!

Nice job, where do you get coloured delrin, I just see black and white?

I buy all my "Delrin" from here: https://beikelan.en.alibaba.com/pro....html?spm=a2700.icbuShop.82.15.163116ddItJWpU

I always order 45mm diameter (parts I make are maximum 41.4mm diameter) and it works out to $12.36US per meter. I generally buy blue and red but they have yellow and green available as well.

Send them a message with what you want (maximum length of one piece they can ship is 1m) and they will spit you back a quote. If you're not in a hurry ask for cheap/slow shipping, otherwise you'll get it in 4 days by DHL. They do free cutting that's super accurate and straight for free, so if you know you need 45mm x 105mm pieces then you can ask for qty: 20 of those, and usually the shipping is much cheaper than the same weight/quantity in 1m length. Leave a few mm for facing as the cut has a pretty rough finish.
