Mark 5 w/ Treadmill Motor

Post by WileyCoyote »

I saw this on YouTube. I have seen the videos and posts about using one on a 10E but this is the first video I have seen using the treadmill motor on a Mark 5.

There is also another guy doing a treadmill DC motor conversion of a Mark V. He is based in the UK and has posted a lot about it on the Facebook group for digital motor conversions. I think if you search for Shopsmith digital motor on Facebook you will find it. He has a touchscreen display for it and has written software for it.
