Not sure where to post this...
I have a 10" Dvorak shaper. I would like to slow it down - primarily for setup/test runs on a piece.
Motor is 1/2 hp 110V 1725 rpm.
The machine has step pullys but even on slowest speed it is too fast.
Not much changing it there short of putting about a 20" pully on it.
Don't want that.
What should I look for?
Is there a motor/gear drive that has 2 speeds that would work and isn't too expensive?
Does anyone make a 2 speed motor- 850/1725 rpm?
Maybe a VFD of some sort?
It would need to maintain the torque at slow speed.
Kinda just scheming/dreaming about it here.
Slower would be better.
