Hi
I didn't want to start a new thread when there was an old one on a similar topic, but it was too old for me to post to. I also want to apologize in advance if my question is silly or demonstrates too much ignorance.
I won a new Dayton 2h588 motor on eBay, and will be using it to turn Stave Drums on a Router Jig. The motor is probably overkill for my purposes, but it was a good deal. http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/DAYTON-DC-Gearmotor-2H588
I'm on a budget and I don't want to order the wrong controller for it and ruin the motor. I was hoping someone could explain why some of the controllers are so expensive, and others are quite cheap.
This: http://www.ebay.com/itm/130475158159?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 seems like the cheapest and easiest option. Seems like you just plug it in and wire it to the motor. But the ones from Granger or other suppliers are a lot more money, so is this one unsafe for me or the motor?
I also saw on ebay that people are selling the chassis versions of several of the more expensive options, for low prices.
Is something from KB or Minarik, like this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/310377714850?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
or this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Minarik-MM2...081?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cc1efa239
a much better choice?
And if they are, is it a big job to buy the case and build/wire the board and chassis into it? It looks like a case, some wires, and a 10K pot are all that I'd need, but I'm on a budget, and if the KB or Minarik will require another $50 in parts, then the speed control will be more money than the motor, and I should probably keep watching ebay for a less expensive option.
Thank you,
Todd
