So continuing from my previous and first post on here, I have a Chinese 5-speed drill press with a now bad motor. I have another motor that’s known good that originally powered a jet well pump.
It’s specs are: 120/230vac, 3450rpm, 10.? Amp, Brushed
OG motor is a 120vac 1600rpm 2.3a job, provided the stand and head will support the extra ~8lbs of this other motor I can get it to mount and work. However I don’t really want or need a motor that eats upwards of 10 amps.
Is there a reliable way to lower both the rotational speed and amperage required without tons of expense and work?
