1 HP 750 Watt Servo Motor 2024 Version Computer Controller with reverse on the fly.
Upgrade for two speed Mini Metal Lathes.

See my store for a different system that fits single speed spindle drive mini lathes.

Fits: Has been installed and tested on the below models.

May fit others.

  • Grizzly G8688 7" X 12" Two speed and only versions with high low gear.
  • Klutch (Northern Tool) 7" X 12" Two speed and only versions with high low gear.
  • Harbor Freight 7" X 10" Two speed and only versions with high low gear.
  • Harbor Freight 7" X 12" Two speed and only versions with high low gear.
  • Harbor Freight 7" X 14" Two speed and only versions with high low gear. (see below)
  • 7" X 14" Two speed. (see below)
About Grizzly G0765 and all 7" x 14": This lathe has a different belt cover. It is very close but
not the same. 
Other 7" X 14" two speeds likely have this slightly different belt cover as well.
for now I would suggest asking for a price without the cover and plan on machining your own cover.
 
Sold complete with all the adapters required to install in the original motor location.
This allows for complete reinstall of all threading gears and auto feed systems.

 

The horsepower improvement is incredible.
Kinda like replacing the small block with a big block in your Mustang/Camaro muscle car. Just pure power, so much so
that you will never use all of it. This system provides full power at any speed and that includes Spindle RPM's as low as
50 RPM's in low gear. You may want to consider the high low gears inside the head and at least lube them with a high
end sling free grease.
 
Motor and spindle speeds + Reverse:
The motor speed can be programmed and or full range can be achieved with just the speed control rotary knob on the controller. Speed control programming only requires a few easy steps.
Reverse on the fly is simple; Just push the blue latching  button.
Programming includes the ability to set bottom and top RPM range separately. In other words you can program the system to run the spindle at any speed or range of speeds you choose (see below).
Slowest speed achievable: Motor 200 RPM
Highest speed this one produced: Motor 4,500 RPM.
