Hi everyone. I am trying to convert and old drill press to DC drive. I was given a brand new
PM DC motor 2.80 HP @ 2089 watts 1.75 HP Cont Duty 1305 watts. I then purchased a
PM-30 Icon threadmill power supply on Ebay, and a 5K pot. For control. Installed everything
and it runs ok. Except there is a seven second delay when you throw the switch!!! and you have to
turn the pot. Back to zero to restart if you stop. I mostly want to run at slow speeds for bigger
drill bits. Seven seconds seems like an eternity, and the zero to start is no fun either. They no
doubt had the delay and zero start for safety purposes. Being old and a novice this is way beyond
me. I did try to find a schematic for this board to attach, but had no luck finding such. Can anyone help? Money is an object. The power supplies I have found on ebay cost as much as a drill press.
Unless someone can steer me to a surplus discount store with the proper supply. I would try to modify
the board if I had instructions, or pay someone to do it. All replys will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Snitz
