Re: Sewing Machine Motor w/foot pedal?
Hello: I would suggest a reversing switch. It is very handy to back out taps. On my big lathe I often cut on the back side in reverse. The chuck backing off is a risk, but if it is tight it should

"On my power box I have two sockets for the motor - one direct from the 24 V, the other from the speed controller. The direct one has a forward/reverse switch, but not the speed controlled connector.

Keith, As I have no use for my KB motor control I listed it on EBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/KBMD-240D-Multi-Drive-/234203164545?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0

Re: Sewing Machine Motor w/foot pedal?
The power supplies are often quoted as being suitable for LEDs, but you'd need a lot of LEDs to justify 24V at 10A! Really they are general purpose power supplies - use them for whatever you like. The

Photos of the motor taken apart, easy to do, just two long screws. Put the end plate with the brushes over the armature shaft first and then put that into the stator tube when putting it back

Re: Sewing Machine Motor w/foot pedal?
I've had a look around on Ebay, specifically for units that will be simple to use, and, ideally, stocked in the USA. For a power supply, these four listings are for exactly the same thing, from USA

Re: Sewing Machine Motor w/foot pedal?
Keith, I bought two of the 150W 24volt dc brushed motors. The price was right. I will look around on EBay for a 24 volt power supply and a speed control. I am going to search back in your posts for

Re: Sewing Machine Motor w/foot pedal?
If you use 150w motor, a 200w power supply is more then enough. You will find that the power supplies under rated and are designed to take a brief overload without blowing.?Jeff

Re: Sewing Machine Motor w/foot pedal?
The type of motor, and the type of DC drive must match up, maybe not exactly match in all ratings but they should be close.? A motor with brushes requires "brushed" DC drive, and a brushless motor

Re: Sewing Machine Motor w/foot pedal?
The two wire 24 V DC motors are brushed - the muttering about brushless motors has been a red herring? - the KB controller would not run any of them. Brushless motors need their own specialised

Hello Dick: U90 motors have some demand, you might recoup your costs by selling them. Personally I would keep them as spares. I'm still using my U90, but bought a replacement DC motor ( 30 years ago,

Re: Sewing Machine Motor w/foot pedal?
Yes and yes. It is quieter then the stock Unimat motor by far. I just went down stairs and ran both. Just using these 66 years old ears, it seems to make less then 1/2 the noise the stock motor does.
