MKC TOOLSTrexon Digital Tach mounted in KB DC controller |
Here the Trexon digital tachometer is mounted in the KB dc motor control box on my 50s
vintage Delta bench top drill press. I purchased this drill press at an estate sale for
35.00 and
it has been a great little asset to my shop. I milled an opening in the control box
cover just large enough for the readout and mounted the tach circuit board with the
usual #40 button head cap screws. Half the lower rim of the
pulley sheave was painted flat black and the other half shined up with steel wool. I made a small
bracket for the sensor to attch to one of the pulley cover mounting bolts so no permenant
modifications to the drill press were needed. I mounted a small 200 ma wall transformer
inside the control box with double faced foam tape and tied it to the dc control ac
input. The tach is powered all the time which it is designed for and gives the additional
benifit of letting me know that the drill press is under power.
