I am changing the drive on my lathe.It had a varible speed lever and a surface speed dial.I am installing an AC drive and want to conect the pot switch to the hand lever that originally adjusted the speed.
This is what I need.The lever moves 80 degrees.The pot switch looks to rotate 3/4 of a turn.I would like to make a large and small gear to conect the 2 and get the movement to complete the range of motion of both pieces.I cant seem to see a segment of an arcs travel in relation to the pot switch.The small gear will be 1/2" dia.If you need more infro holler.Thanks. Jim
