Variable Speed Rod Wrapper Control Pedal

Hello Rod Builders,

My name is Richard Lucas and I'm the owner of LUCAS MFG. Co., a Family owned Company since 1930.

One of our most popular products that we manufacture is our line of LOWBOY Foot Operated Variable Speed Controls

I don't know how to make or wrap a Rod, but I do know how to manufacture the "Best" Variable Speed Control & its not a plastic housing.

You may have the best made Rod Wrapper available, but that alone is not enough. You should also have the best
Motor Speed Control Pedal to operate your wrapper motor, and I'm speaking about our line of Variable LowBoy Speed Controls.

You may be satisfied with your current foot pedal which may have 5 speeds, but may not be very comfortable to control
the variable speed you require.

Our simple looking "Lowboy" pedals were designed to be used on our Flexible Shaft Hanging Motors in the Jewelry Industry.
As time went on, we realized that our "LowBoy" was also a favorite in many other industries such as Hobbyists, Acrylic Nail
Spa's, Wood Carvers and the Fishing Industry to add fishing line to a Reel, etc. etc.

At $59.00, plus $10.00 shipping, our LowBoy may become one of the best investments that you can make to go along with your Rod Wrapper.

I invite any Rod Builder to contact me direct to discuss this further.
You can call me or better yet, email me, since either way I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

##############
Check out my Website, www.LucasDentalCompany.com and see the first item that pops up which is our LowBoy #9-3 and check out the Specs on this item,
you will not be disappointed at the quality that has gone into this little speed control.

Thank you for your time, I hope to hear from you,

Regards,

Richard Lucas

Monday - Friday 9:00 - 3:00

And I am proud to say..... All of our products are "Made in the USA"

#########################

MOTORS:
In addition to our Lowboy Pedal, we also have motors available that might be used to build a Rod Wrapper machine

DAYTON MOTORS: 1/8 hp, ac-dc REVERSIBLE 115 volts Made in USA
I believe the Speed is around 10,000 - 12,000 RPM, and 2.0 amps All Brand New, Never Used.

WIRING DIRECTIONS as you look at the 1/4" shaft
Yellow & Brown = Field Wires
Red & Black = Brush Wires

connect Yellow to Red, then plug in other two wires = CCWR
connect Yellow to Black, then plug in other two wires =CWR
connect Brown to Red, then plug in other two wires = CWR
connect Brown to Black, then plug in other two wires = CCWR

(2) mounting screw holes on bottom, 10-32 thread, approx. 2-1/8" C to C apart
At $62.00 each plus $10.00 shipping, you can't find a better deal than this.

If you were to purchase our #9 Lowboy and this Dayton motor together, the total is $121.00 with FREE Shipping
all shipping fee's are based on shipping within the Lower 48 States.

Hi Richard, I presume these are for 110v only and not for the UK 240v system?

I purchased a Lucas Lowboy foot pedal for my Renzetti Rod Lathe to replace the one provided with the lathe. My first impressions are it make lathe very smooth and controllable, much better than original pedal supplied with the lathe. I will comment further with more use. Richard Lucas was very helpful and delivery was prompt.
