Hi, Joe (and anyone else who would like to comment), I didn't get a chance to hear the Gates at CAF, but have been thinking about getting one, how would you rate this table against the ROK T-12H? I have heard the Gates is supposed to be a top, if not the top, idler drive. Also, are motors easy to come by on these tables, or are they pretty much a custom item? Thanks, Randy
The Gates uses a synchronous motor. Most of them rotate at the same RPM, so the tough question is can you get one with the same shaft diameter so the pulley will mount, and can you adapt the motor's mounting bolt pattern to fit the table....
