Re: White Paper Discuss: Nothing But Dewalts

As Josh indicated - without attempting to modify the gearing in the dewalt - the big CIM ran pretty slow. Unless the application was appropriate, I wouldn't use them.
If they were adapted to the proper gear box they could work as well as the other size CIM. Although, it might be easier to drive through an external gear box, to get what you need out of them.
So, if you wanted a big heavy motor that would work all day long, without over heating - and you had the weight available - the big CIM's could probably be adapted.
