Checked out a big Ace hardware store for a 1/2 X 3/* - 2" pulley. No luck. Stopped by the Salvation Army store just for kicks and right up fromt was a treadmill. Finally out how to get it going - run fine speed control worked good so gave them the $30 and hauled it home. Will start the demo in the morning.
Got all the electronics and then some out of the treadmill. Motor is a 14A DC 6000 rpm motor. Now I need to figure out the pulley combinations to get to the speed range I want on the metal lathe.
