The hidden benefit of switching controllers is that the ROC model has schematics and similar variations in how tos all over the internet.

(The pc is also the temporary means in which the controller is now housed with a number of zipties keeping the circuit boards secured ) With the ROC speed controller chopped up it fits to the wide side of a desktop PC case. Instead I went with the Chinese motor controller, which is awkwardly large. It would have been nice if it worked because the face speed control for the motor would have been about 4x5 inches. I tried making my own harness from following another controllers diagram as a last ditch effort to no avail. The harness has vanished without a trace ( or it got mixed it with some scrap wires I took in a few weeks ago). I also apparently set the same motor's controller wire harness down on some passing dark matter. The motor controller for the larger of the two motors has no schematics anywhere online. Took a few steps forward and a few steps back with the saw. what else should I be considering? am I over thinking this problem? choosing lubricants for car gear boxes have everything spec-ed out for the most part.Įither way i am thinking the lube should be synthectic (for longer life and low moisture absorbsion), tolerate cold conditions (around 0*F is as low as I can tolerate to work in), hopefully get along with the micarta coating (not really sure why it is there in the first place) on the large gear, and provide the best wear resistance possible (while not being so thick it bogs the motor down in low temperatures).
I don't have much experience with choosing a lubricant for situations like this. sealing everything shouldn't be too hard nor should cutting the gasket. I am questioning what to use for the oil bath again. there is some adjustment/slack in the factory bolt holes it will take some fiddling to get it all right. so it seems there is a gap between the axials that could be closed up. the gears do catch but there is a slight click when reversing rotation of the motor. there is no window to see how the gears are meshing so I ran whiteout along 4 points of the larger gear.

Next I trial fit the mount with the motor and gear. the two fans seemed to move as much air as the mills fan did when I did the bench test of the mill motor. both fans moved air at a speed independently from the mills motor rotation speed so I think they should be an improvement at least at low rpm.
the amperage ratings for the fans were more than the power supply but I didn't notice any effect. for testing I used an ac adaptor for a cell phone charger. I still have to decide the best way to power the fans. and hopefully they should do a better job cooling the mill motor. there is room for two computer fans instead and they fit in the motor housing better. I went with the computer fans rather than the metal caged fan. the fan holes are roughed out and there is a layer of grindings covering half the shop. I got a few hours of grinding done, as I didn't have a bi metal hole saw set (the hole saw set is on the list now!). thanks for bringing it up C-Bag and you other two for filling in the blanks. Lots of informative discussion, I sort of had an instinct about some of these ideas but its good to hear specifics.
