Robert,
The controller that comes with it supplies the power. You just need 120 VAC.?

? I would vote No.? Although they could probably be made to work, they are probably made to operate off of a battery in the 9 to 24 Volt range.? So you would have the additional expense of reducing the line voltage to the battery voltage and the additional expense and I-Squared-R losses inherent in operating at a significantly lower voltage and higher current.? ? ? ? I have a couple of wheelchair motors I just found when clearing up my workshop. Forgot I had them and not sure why I have them. Would they be suitable on a bandsaw, do you think?

I got one on ebay with the controller years ago for my mini-mill.? It's still just a mini-mill, but its a much better machine than how it started out.? I made a pair of 3 speed pulleys for it, but I never need to change it from the middle speed.? It has enough power to go whatever speed I want from the middle speed.? That's the big advantage of an overized DC motor.? You can achieve all the variable speed you need the dial instead of the belt.
