Nightshade Report post Posted November 2, 2018 I upgraded a machine I just bought from clutch to servo motor. Has anyone repurposed an old clutch motor and added a wood burnishing wheel? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greenwood Report post Posted November 2, 2018 Hi Nightshade Some where on this site someone did exactly that using a mandrel and if I recall he had a burnisher on one side and some other wheel/sanding drum on the other. Looked very functional. Gives user infinite rpms to burnish and sand great idea. Good Luck Layo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dikman Report post Posted November 2, 2018 No real reason it couldn't be used. It would have to be modified slightly so that the clutch is fully engaged all the time (simpler than rigging up a foot control to give variable speed). The simplest way to fit a wood burnisher would be to drill the mounting hole slightly undersize and then force screw it onto the shaft thread (unless you have the correct size tap for the thread). I did this when I made one for my bench grinder, but you do need a lathe to get it bored accurately. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
