IN it's defence the #1 is a little thug.... the central column with the knee
and motor off weighs north of 3/4 of a ton... it might be quite small but
that's a 3HP motor on there.... I'm trying to work out if I can get a sliding
dogged planetary reduction gear to fit between my new motor and the mill,
something to give me 4:1 reduction would give me both speed range sets.... I
suppose I could just set the invert to run slower but I'd like a mechanical
solution really....
