That looks fine, George :thumbup: Just a general purpose switch mode supply. I was a bit concerned you described it as a 'transformer' which is just AC in and AC out ... As you were, carry on ... just ignore me ... :lol: Dave |

Hi George, I've built a couple of mill table drives using wiper motors ! If you have it wired correctly they are very hard to stall. At the moment I am using a 30 volt @ 3 amp variable power supply. Neither motor takes more than a couple of amps at 12 volts. My two motors are slightly different. One uses the motor case as one of the connections and I suspect that is what you have. If you feed power to the two wires the motor will rapidly get hot and won't produce a lot of torque. One wire will give you low speed and the other will give you high speed. I do have photographs but they are on another computer that I don't have access to at the moment. Or you can check out this link. http://www.woodworkforums.com/184913-table-traverse-chinese-mill/ You will have to register to view the pictures. But you will also be able to read the whole thread about both table traverse builds. |
