Used my UniPCs? to make tools and parts from steel, titanium, brass as well as POM and other plastic materials since the Uni came out. Both, the manual and CNC have still their original motors
Found soon if you think the motor is to weak you are working with a wrong tool, a tool not sharp enough, the speed or chisel angle is not right..
Before mounting a more powerful motor think twice - there are parts in your lathe not built for.
Seen by the age of the UniPC the risk of ruining the plastic gears ..of course you can replace them by metal..

Zitat von "Keith? S. Angus via Groups.Io" <ksangus@...>:
> The standard motor is 48 mm diameter. The holes it fits through are not much bigger, 52 mm I think, and there is not much scope to open them up. Once the motor gets much bigger their is nowhere to put it except outside the headstock.
