it is a treadmill I bought for 20 bucks at a thrift store thay where happy to get rid of it worked great proform brand if I remember right I bought the r8 spindle at

and the pulley just about went right on the belt and everything looks like it will work
I have all the electronics just need to look I think I can put the tach on also but you bring up a good point
I thought for fast milling I could switch over to a router
but I have a r8 milling machine and now I can use the existing tooling I have
just seems like allot more options
I hear what you are saying and it would be nice to go faster but I am hoping to be able to switch power heads
for sawing and grinding and routing and milling and such
by mounting them all to a standard mounting plate with alignment registers that I will make a jig for so I can duplicate it whether this is realistic in my reality waits to be seen thanks
