Hi:
I used a 60
RPM gear motor for this chop saw, cuts great.

First motor
was $10, burned a winding after a heavy cut. Still available:
The
replacement Dayton motor was more like $50

For sure I meant DIY making. Not for sale. I just watched Adam
Savage spend countless hours upgrading a $39 Harbor freight mini
chop saw. Obviously (LOL) not for resale, but for his own
satisfaction.?
I figure that even with buying the materials to make this part,
one should get it done for what, maybe 10 or 15 bucks? Most of us
have some material squirreled away. So far I have about $6
invested in a piece of aluminum tubing for the quill, and it would
make at least 3 of them. So, 2 bucks, plus filament. The rest will
probably be from my scrap box.?
