Is there an aftermarket device available that will convert the motor to variable speed?

I did the upgrade on my lathe by purchasing the variable speed motor. Upgrade was easy. My only objection is the documentation states the wrist band speed control is an option. I purchase the wrist band but the cable connectors in the new motor do not allow for installation of the small board that comes with the speed control. I spoke with Tekna's electrical engineer and he acknowledged that new cables and connectors would be required to make the remote control work. He referred me to their customer service and I left a message and sent them emails and have yet to receive a response. Otherwise, the new motor on the lathe works well.

Yes, Nova offers a variable speed motor upgrade. I have made the change and it works well.

Possibly, a device that varies the frequency from 60 hz down to about 5 or 6 hz. You could consider the upgrade two frequency drive motor available for that lathe for about $800.

I am not sure, but I think that Nova actually sells an upgrade kit. Go to their website. With that being said, I really have not found manually changing the speeds to be a great impediment. It is a fairly easy process. Not that I am a master turner, but I am able to produce very nice bowls with this machine in less than two hours. Consider the pricepoint. It does lack the variable speed feature, but is loaded with other features not available on other machines at this price. Save your money on the variable speed and opt for the optional outrigger arm if you turn bowls. I would also highly recommend purchasing a Nova chuck. Money very well spent....

only one I know is a replacement motor with the controller built in from Nova. Still cheaper then the DVR unit plus you have a spare motor.

Yes there is but as I remember its expensive.Now nova makes the conversion.I hope this helps!Dave

NO. That is an induction motor and this won't work with induction motors. This speed controller only works with brushed "universal" type motors. The only way to change the speed of an induction motor is with a Variable Frequency Drive.

Not that I know of...not unless it's connected to a varaiable frequency drive or something of that nature? Maybe a rheostat?

Yes, it can do variable speed. It's a brushed DC motor, so varying the current will vary the speed, & reversing the polarity will reverse the direction of rotation. One can use a traditional analog current controller, or a PWM current controller, which will be more efficient. - bc for AnaV

Yes it is variable speed and can be used 12 or 24 volt.It is also upgradeable to wireless remote.Great motor I use mine 12volt and love it.

You can add a motor to this model? Do you know where I could find one of those?
1983569
it is advertised as 50 RPM. I would not think it is a variable speed but you may be able to find one that they make in the RPM you need

It is not possible to adjust the speed because you will damage the motor. Considering that the connection between the pump and the motor is magnetic, you can adjust the output using a ball valve, so the result is the same, reduction on the flux of the mash

Not sure....I don't like using variable on fan motors...it tends to give them a short life span....the two speeds are adequate, however I always have it set to high speed.

If you mean "Variable Speed Reversing" then yes I believe it is. The manual can be found here: http://servicenet.blackanddecker.com/documents/English/Instruction%20Manual/90565546,DR670.pdf

I bought mine from Golden motor Canada,. Google it. They have a variety if items for the electric conversions. Although if you are not willing to wait on postal shipping can be pretty expensive. Also you can check out JS Greenmachine on eBay if he has them in stock it may be cheaper.

I don't own one, but I looked at this drill about two years ago. As I recall, it had all the bells and whistles, including variable speed and a reverse switch.(The drill was everything I wanted, but I didn't really need a new drill, so I didn't buy it.)

You can get a test plug I believe from Kwikee and you can then wire this to your existing harness. Is your motor completly different, and if so what is the brand name. you could co to them and they may be able to give you a better solution. If all fails then contact good sams with your needs and they will publish your problem in there magzine sure you will get correct information as your problem is not unique am sure other's have had the same problem. hope this information helps.

1:48 ratio, too fast IMO. Available on Ebay mainly. Don't pay much, Sparkfun sells the whole Magician kit for $15. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2PCS-DC-3v-6V-1-48-Gear-Motor-For-Robot-/171131410466?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash;=item27d83a1822

Should work. This motor control acts like a dimmer and will allowspeedadjustment.

You could use a electric drill as the motor. Put a long 1/4 to 3/8 inch bolt through the pipes, leave about a inch of the bolt available to put in the Drill chuck. A variable speed drill will give you rpm adjustment, and they have enough torque. You just have to jury rig the drill switch with something like a big rubber band, duct tape, or a Velcro strap over the drills trigger.

I don't think so. I believe your motor is an AC only motor which wouldn't be compatible with this speed controller designed for an AC/DC brush motor
