could you use a variable speed electric motor for a power feed?

[Fla._Deadheader]

 No,  Amps is what you need and 12V @ 373 watts = 31 Amps. We have our feed drive set up, so, if we get bound up somehow, the motor pulley will slip, just like a clutch.

ok ,90v x 1.0 watt = 90 amps,right?So  is that enough amps?I believe the contonller has an over load on it.

What I don't get is why does it say it has 90v?

Thats what it says about the motor

It needs 90v DC -  Like AC motors that are 120 - 240, many dc are 90 - 180  DC.   This has to come from an inverter hookup,  you won't get it from the 12V DC that I believe Woodmiser uses.   Also TENV is totally enclosed NON vented - Most of these are intermitent duty - Like 10 - 20 minutes out of an hour - This will probably cook itself and go off on thermal overload running a carrige continuously.

 Read YOUR specs in the second post back from this one. It states 1.0 AMPS

  1 AMP is very little power.

  I don't understand why you have been given several viable ways to do what you want, and then, are hung up on this motor

  All those that have responded to you, are doing so from THEIR EXPERIENCES.

Harold, I am beginning to think that there are certain individuals that use this forum simply to entertain themselves by seeing how stupid they can be before we lose our patience and go comp[letely out of charactor for an understanding friendly and helpful forum. Well one certain individual, lets call him SYBIL, has made me create another personality, one I dont like and he wont either.

[Rod]

Deadheader ,i'm just trying to figure the math and what motor to use.

Mike,it might be and
intermitent duty motor.I need to check into that.

Rod,

With a band mill using a 1 1/4 inch blade, does not require that much force to feed the blade into the cut. My permanet magnet motor is 1/4 hp and it is moving about 300+ lbs,  it has plenty power for sawing. A bigger motor would speed up the jig back.

If you plan on using a board drag-back, then I would look for a system with at least 1 hp

[Rod]

Thanks D._Frederick,I'm not planing on a drag back.

Rod,

Six rpm is way to slow for a carriage feed, it would require you to use jack shafts to get the rpm high enough. My gearmotor is 90 rpm and with a 3 1/2 inch capstant it gives me a maximum carriage speed of about 80 ft per min. I am using a 90 volt inverter which requires 120 volts ac.

[Rod]

thanks D,I was wondering wat rpm to get.80 fpm seems kind of to fast to me tho.

[Rod]

I''ll call Baldor tomorrow and see what motor I should use.
