Welcome, Sean! Happy to have you as a forum member. I am just another fellow forum member here and I also share the same hobby. Dick

Hello all, Thanks to Marcus and all the group co-owners for taking action to resolve the moderation difficulty. ?It's very nice to be able to post to the group. As an introduction: my name is Sean, I

Good evening, Many apologies for not giving the actual motor details in my previous post. On Amazon, search for HUSUPER 550w Sewing Machine Servo Motor. ?91.89 Stirling as of an hour ago. kindest

I would find some reading material like the Machinists Bedside Reader by Guy Lautard and google around to find TAB Books, who produced a ton of home tech project material. Digging through the Files
