Does anyone have any leads on affordable high torque/low speed motors to drive a MM2-2.0? I've scoured the surplus sites and have come up empty. Help?

Hey folks. I just ordered a MM 2-2.0 and am thinking of getting a Grizzly motor. Anyone know what type (or even better, have a LINK) for a gear reducer for this motor? I'd rather not have to deal with pulleys an belts...
Thanks!calebstringer said:Erik, the motir you listed will not allow a gear box to be bolted to it. Check out the one I linked, for the same price
Thanks!
Will I need a capacitor to run the motor?
The motor is set up with everything you need. The only other thing I added was a barrel switch so that I could reverse it if it jammed.

Great, thanks for all the info. Is there a cheaper switch I can get to throw the mill in reverse? An extra $40+ seems excessive, even though it looks like a nice switch...
Where'd you find a 3 Pole toggle for $2.65?I use a 3 pole toggle, up is forward center is off, and down is reverse not as elegant as a drum BUT at $2.65 I can brew a couple of batches of beer for the cost difference I built mine for under a $150.00
The motor I ordered is 12.8 amps AC.e-bay 6 amp @ 125 volt, my 90 volt dc motor is less then a 3 amp draw.
I 'll check through my electrical stuff I got 5 new old stock for $13.24 shipped I used a couple have a couple leftover somewhere. PM me if you want.
Well, I ordered the fancy forward/reverse switch from McMaster. Screw it. It's 40 bucks my son won't inherit from my in 50 years...
. . . hmmm. Guess I bought the crappy one.Well, I ordered the fancy forward/reverse switch from McMaster. Screw it. It's 40 bucks my son won't inherit from my in 50 years...
Needed the large hobby box from Radio Shack to house the big capacitor for the gear motor. The e-stop works, but it's more cosmetic than anything else. Just needed something to take up the space. But it could be a good thing. If both my hands are being sucked into the mill, I can hit the e-stop with my knee. :cross:I like the integrated e-stop!
I just want to make sure this motor will work.

1/3 hp reduced down to 172 rpms should be enough to power a two roller monster mill, right? Thanks.
I'll be sure to show it off once it is done next week if it will work. I already have the motor, so hopefully I can make it this weekend.
