I have two projects that could really benefit from a variable drive motor. Both are material feeds, one on a saw and the other on a winder. I've mocked up the drive using my 18V Milwaukee cordless drill and that has just the right RPM range and plenty of torque. So when I transfer that info (torque specs and RPM) to the local electrical and motor shop I hear "can't be done". I can't figure out why a $200 drill can get the job done but they can't match up a motor and controller to do the same thing. The hose clamps holding the drill on to the fixture just don't look too professional. And I'm not above spending more to get a good unit.
Anyone know of a company that makes kits that have the motor and the controller all ready to go?
