I want to repower my lathe with a 3-phase motor and a variable speed drive.
I have welded up a four sided base but now I need to make a motor mount. The motor has both a flange mount and a base mount. I would like to make use of the flange for extra rigidity. The mount needs to be hinged along one side. On the other side I need to be able to adjust the height to set the drive belt tension.
I want to use a poly Vee belt so good alignment and rigidity are important.
The photo shows the motor sitting in about the right position over the welded base.
Any suggestions on how to design a good mount for the motor??
