I've had the hendey tiebar in the shop for almost two years now and in the near future (relative to the glacial pace that i do things) i'll be tackling the clean up and setting up the drive system. The machine came with a 2 hp single phase motor driving he original counter-shaft pulley through a single stage speed reduction. Given the motor speed (1750 rpm) and existing sheav sizes, i've worked out the flat belt pulley diameters necessary to achieve the original counter-shaft speeds and therefore original machine speeds.
Subsequent to this plan, i've been kicking around the idea of replacing the single phase motor with an 8 pole three phase motor for two reasons:
* Three phase machine are easy to run in reverse (for tapping)
* An 8 pole machine will run at something less than 800 rpm therefore reducing the diameter of the flat belt pulleys i'll need to fabricate.
Anybody know of a good source?
