I need to practice cutting Coms with my new lathe but don't have any old motors to practice with. At this point I'm not comfortable cutting / hacking a working motor.

I will gladly take any junk old ones off your hands. I have no issues paying for shipping or trading for something I may have laying around.

Let me know what you have and what I can do for you in return.
 
My grandpa has a huge lathe he used to use for stuff... it is bigger than a shop smith. He said i can have it when i get space. I think i will get into electrics when that happens... the lathe is from the 40's or 50's... its nice.. and heavy!
 
well eddy i dont have any i can part with permanently, but ill pay shipping to you and you can practice cutting them and send them back to me? if thats sounds cool... i dont mind you using my motors as guinea pigs lol i have 4 that need cut... lmk!
 
I have some that you can have...Don't know if they are anygood or not, but I can send you 2 of them.
 
I will look around I might have one you can have :)

Let me get a clue as to how this is properly done and I will cut them for you. I have a feeling I may hack a few before I get it right. I would feel like a total ass wipe if I screwed up someones motor.
 
I got 5 Of em from "back in the day"......I can probably find more layin around......
 
lol thats cool eddy. one of the motors i have you can have. the other 3 i would need back tho. thanx tho!
 
i think i got one or two.. what you got "laying around"??
 
yea I'm still learning on my lathe that i got from plaid... i fould some old comm's to learn on and *ucked one up very bad lol
 
I chunked through my first comm trying to find the proper speed RPM and side to side speed. I'm sure after 10-20 cuts ill have it down. Just like anything else, I'm sure it will come with practice.
 
yea i also need to locate some old stock motors to tear apart I've been lookin on ebay for a lot to get but nothing so far..
 
I'm only going to need a few.
Lets see what comes of this thread and Ill direct any extras your way.
 
Eddy something is messed up w/my subscription which means I have to many PM's in my inbox. I sent you another email with yahoo to the first addy you sent me. Let me know if that one worked if not I'll use the other addy you gave me.
 
Just got them.
Perfect.......
I always wondered where you got your user name and how to say it. Now I know. :D

Let me know what the shipping is and ill kick it back. If you need some tape ill ship some off to you. Let me know.

Whats wrong with your subscription / pms?
 
I paid the 2nd, and it seems like it didn't go through. I don't have "Goldmember" under my name and all the other perks.
