Perfect fit on Turncrafter Pro

15 minutes installation on my TCLPRO using a pair of pliers and a phillips head screwdriver, zero problems. Handy hint: A bit of velcro tape on the control box made for a handy, bench-mounted speed control. No more messing around with a tiny belt in a dark, tight spot every time I need to change speeds to sand and polish.

Overhead cutter for a Rose Engine.

I bought this motor for installing on an overhead cutter for a Rose Engine. (Picture an old dentist drill using belts) It drives a cuter in a cutting frame and it works very nice, Its quiet and no vibration.

Perfect Fit

I too, have a Harbor Freight 65345 lathe. After reading the review that said the kit was a perfect fit for the Harbor Freight 65345 Lathe I ordered the kit. It arrived today and it fits perfectly, no drilling or anything. It took longer to take off the old motor, then to install the new motor. I'll give it a run on bigger material tomorrow and check out the power. I attached the control box to the belt door on the left with a 3/4" plywood spacer. Worked like a charm.

Great kit

This kit works perfectly on the Harbor Freight Mini Lathe. Bolts right up on harbor freight Item Number 65345

Just installed

I just installed this kit on my jet 1014 and am pleased so far. Variable speed is great, I now wonder since this is a DC motor if it be possible to install a reverse switch. I also hate the control box arrangement.

Works Great

Had it up and running in less than 20 minutes. Works great and it sure beats changing the belt position.

Nice addition

Got this kit for Christmas. Had it up and running in about 15 mins. Works great.

all ready in the repair shop

The instructions are terrible. They don't even apply to a Jet Mini And the "template" is accually an excellent replacement for the old tension handle Why does a "Template" come with a rubber coated handle????????. Mine work for approx. one hour then it just stop and it continued to stop and over heated frequently)---Plus the speed control stop working completely. Awaiting a repaired or replacement control box. It would apppear from the sequence of the comments that recently purchase motors are not as good as prior

Variable speed mide lathe conversion

Just installed this on my Rikon70-100 and had no problems with install. It works very well. I am very happy with it I am not having ny problems it works great. The price was nice - low cost. Makes it very easy to change speed and not have to move the belts. Works very smooth. Have not found any dislikes with it. It makes turning a lot easier now.

Very nice upgrade

The capacitor went out on our lathe just as we received an order for a pens for a class reunion. When I was told that a matching capacitor or replacement motor were not available we worried, then someone suggested this motor. Dad loved the variable speed, claiming it took 20% off of his turning time on the order. Can't wait to get my turn at it.
