Well, when I started almost a year ago, it looked like this then I began with hole lot of mods.... had made a new 100 mm spindle, extended a bit had problemns with removing old pulley and managed to burn the board, but had it repaired did a mod for easy angle setting - made a carrier of hardened steel, cause the old one got nicked quite quickly and made these ones from bronze, for easy sliding and drilled a hole for carriage stop, that works :) part underneath isnt attached on pic slide is now on acme thread throug these ones with bearings metal pulley with 14 cogs new tailstock from Amadeal and milling and ball turning attachments from LMS qctp is also from Amadeal (sold it in the meantime and ordered one from LMS) new "wheels" then, I have managed to brake the plastic gears inside headstock, replacement ones - metal of course, came in today, from Amadeal. With 550 W motor :) Didnt make the pics yet, I will do it in next few days. Along with new QCTP from LMS, metal change gears are on route too. So every plastic piece will be changed :) On this new motor, I will fit a 12 cogs metal pulley. I think I will have a lot of torque. I just hope that my KBLC240D will work with it without problems. And also, I have to figure out how to fit the motor there, because there isnt enough room to do it. |

Looking real good. |

1st. Welcome to the collective :Borg: Looks like some good modding there. I just started modding my mini lathe too. Keep us in the loop on the motor and the controller. Eric |

attached the motor today. it works nicely. also, metal gears are fitted inside head casting (no pic lol) but motor will hardly fit in :) its lower end is resting on the inside of the casting. the metal pulley with 12 cogs is fitted on motor. my metal gear that holds the other end of the belt isn't finished yet (I hope to get it in next few days). I will have to make some sort of adapter, to move existing mounting holes about 5 mm to the right. I will mill a metal block tomorrow, that I will fit to the existing holes, and below (or above them) I will make new mounting holes that are offset from existing ones. I hope that I wont have problems with lining up the belt and both pulleys (they might miss align for 2 or 3 mm vertically) |

Hi Stefan, I'm sure you will be able to fix it so the pulleys line up. I think the motor mounting on Sieg minilathes allows the motor position to be adjusted, by loosening a bolt at one end of a shaft on the mounting and tightening a bolt on the other end, but I believe Einhell lathes are made by Real Bull so they may be different.
