You will have to have a milling machine + a working lathe and do machine work to make it fit.Allows for complete reinstall of all threading gears and auto feed systems. Each one is custom built when you order. When the build is complete, it will be tested for 20 minuets. Any defects found during testing will require a complete new build. This insures you do not have to deal with returns and exchanges due to manufacturer defects. All parts required to build are In stock. That means if it is listed as available, it is because we have enough parts to build at least two. We also stock extra parts in case of warranty. In past 3 years, almost all defects that would have been warranty have been caught and remedied during the above testing. End result is: We have only 2 out of hundreds that required a warranty replacement part in 3 years. In stock: Built with the new designs for 2023. Note: Most individual parts, timing belt with timing gears, spacers and adapters are available separately. Motor mount is not sold separately so if you plan to use a Vevor, you will have to weld your own. The horsepower improvement is incredible. Kinda like replacing the small block with a big block in your Mustang/Camaro muscle car. Just pure power, so much so that you will never use all of it. This system provides full power at any speed and that includes Spindle RPM’s as low as 200 RPM’s Motor and spindle speeds + Reverse: The motor speed can be programmed and or full range can be achieved with just the speed control knob: Speed control programming only requires a few easy steps. Reverse is simple, just hold the yellow button for a few seconds. Programming includes the ability to set bottom and top RPM range separately. In other words you can program the system to run the spindle at any speed or range of speeds you choose (see below). Slowest speed achievable: Motor 100 RPM = Spindle 60 RPM. Highest speed this one produced: Motor 3,500 RPM = Spindle just over 2,000 RPM’s. Note: it is not recommended to spin the spindle any faster unless you upgrade the factory installed spindle bearings. Motor Specifications:Watt: 900 (1.0057665666 HP)Voltage: 110VHZ: 60Torque: 11 N.M.RPM: 100 to 3,500 RPM in 100 RPM increments. Note: Manufacturer recommended 500 to 4,000 RPMs My personal testing results: This motor runs best between 300 and 4,500 RPMs.Ratio of belt drive:1.6 to 1 (motor turns 1.6 revolutions to every revolution the spindle turns) System includes:A new 900 watt motor like the one seen here in photos above. Motor will come with the motor mount installed. This will require adjustment to fit your lathe. It will also come with the small timing pulley installed on it using a 5 mm key-way and main shaft nut.

Note: Check the photos in this listing. See the red lathe. If your lathe has holes instead of the normal slots, this motor will not fit without your ability to slot the cast iron lathe bed. Additionally we will not accept returns for this reason.You will have to cut the die-cast gear housing to allow additional room for the larger timing belt. (see photos) this can be done with a hacksaw and a file but a pneumatic cut off tool or die grinder will ease this job.You will have to press out the spindle shaft and cut a longer key way slot.You will have to completely disassemble the lathe and machine the slots in the bed. A spreader wrench is a big help but this can be managed with a hammer and punch.You will need metric and domestic allen wrenches + a 13mm/1/2″ deep socket and ratchet.Some longer allen head metric allen head bolts (not included) may also be required, especially it you over tighten and strip the factory bolts provided with your machine.Notes:This system has so much more power that it becomes tempting to see just how much you can cut in a single pass. Do not do this because the rest of the mini lathe is not built strong/stable enough for this kind of abuse. If you jam it, you may damage the lathe to include broken cutters, parts and the control unit.This is abuse and no refunds will be issued for damage caused by abuse.All lathes are dangerous, increasing the horsepower increases this danger.
