So, hello every one. First time posting and probably no the last. A couple of weeks as a retired person I decide to build a 2x72" belt sander. It requires a bit of steel and a motor. The minimum used should be 1.5hp. I only had 1/2 hp. (2 of them) , then I discovered that some people have built them using treadmill motor, perfect! I salvage two from the scrap heap, one was submerge in water and the other was fine. The one in water has the MC 60 control board with some damage( to be repaired later) and the second one has a MC2100, which I understand will need a PWM in order to work, I got the parts for the build but impatient.
I have a on PC power supply that I would to use the case, the fan, and add an led to put that I can put a AC 220V 10000W High Power SCR Motor Speed Controller Voltage Regulator (from Amazon) to operate the DC motor that came out of the treadmill.
What do I need to the do to make it work?. I could use the case, install the regulator with a bridge rectifier, leave the fan in but provide a 12vdc source (an old phone charger power supply ) and forget about the LED.
I did electronics in the 90's when I was apprenticing electrician, but dabble in it a few time since. I have a great Fluke multi-meter and a few resistors and have access to a local supply store.
I would really appreciate you help, if you can
Thanks
