"The Kid" forgot the gibs were locked and engaged the unit. Stripped the
plastic gear on the bottom. Cost a bit more than half the value to repair.
You've been warned.

I've put one of these on the cross feed axis of my Index mill, plenty
of torque. Only complaint is a very narrow band of speed control from
none to too fast. But my Servo brand on the X axis has this same
problem. This unit is a half wave SCR controller. The 150 in.lbs. are
full wave controllers. Just put one of these on the Z-axis knee.
They have units with fuses and circuit breakers. The fuses blow way
too easy. At lease on my Z-axis where I did the same thing of having
the gib lock on.

This is a very good price. As I have bought these under the Align
brand and the Central Machine. Same unit different paint and decals.

I have an old Bridgeport round ram/overarm mill I would like to fit
the HF unit to.
Would you be so kind as to tell me the bearing mounting bracket hole
spacings to verify with my mill?
This mill has 2 lower screws 6" apart and 2 upper screws 2.5" apart
and
1" vertical seperation.
How does that compare?
