I have a mill and acquired an electric motor. I don't know the best way to connect the two but I would much rather flip a switch and have this motor run my mill as opposed to hand cranking or attaching a drill.
There are several posts on here with links to buy parts, but it seems like most people who post already have an idea of what they're looking for. Are the only items necessary just a pulley on each (motor / mill), a belt that is sized for the pulleys an voila?
Looking for a little elaboration on process to completion.
P.S. Is there a maximum speed I should be running? When I turn the motor on it seems to spin quite fast for what I'd expect a mill to run at.
