If you look on Craigslist, you will often times find people giving treadmills away. They are easy to disassemble and you will have a variable speed motor for really anything you might want to build. I recently picked one up with a 2hp motor. I disassembled it and will be adding it to my knife grinder so that my knife grinder will be variable speed. I plan on cutting the control panel off right where you would hold on to the rail. I plan on securing the panel to my work bench with conduit straps / saddles. Will have to come up with another treadmill now for my brass!
