Old 3 in. CIM
Does anyone know anything about the old 3 in. CIM? I heard that they were legal years ago, and then were banned. I have two which I would like to use for household projects but I don't know much about them. I'm planning to use one to power a small portable lathe but running into issues with power transmission to the spindle. Anything about gearboxes they worked with or motor torque/power curves would be helpful.

Thanks
