Hi all,
I got the mini mill a few days ago and Im finding that it has some issue's. I didn't spend allot of money for it as it was thrown in with an Enco 9x20 lathe for $300.00. So anyway I'd like to get this mini mill running so I can do some milling at home with it. I was considering converting it into a CNC mini mill but I haven't seen ANY of these out there ANYWHERE. It's an Enco Mill P/N 110-1400 and basically it resmembles the Harbor Frieght X2's but the motor is mounted within the upright collum and atatched to the spindle housing and driven by a belt on top but within the collum .../ ? I know but there's some pics.
Anyway, I need to know what kind of motor it is and I want to know if there is something out there that can replace it. I know from the data plate that is glued to the spindle housing that this electric motor is rated at 3/4 hp, 110v, 1ph, 60hz cycles at 3800 rpm.
I'm wondering if I can put a 1hp motor that is the same size in there... If anybody out there can give some useful information on this type of motor and what my options are, that would be wonderful. ; )
