Treadmill motor for belt grinder- will this board work?
G'day guys, I've downloaded the planes for the Jeremy Schmidt belt grinder that has been on my project list for a while. I've scored a working commercial treadmill with a 3hp motor that I think should be good for the grinder. I'm hoping someone can tell me from these photos whether or not this treadmill control board will be able to be used with a potentiometer to run the grinder? Electronics is far from my strong suit but there are plenty of youtube vids on doing this, apparently some boards work and others don't. Which variety do I have?

Boards (I assume the small one runs the linear actuator as that's where the wires go)

Unfortunately the rotation of the motor means that I'll have to mount it on the 'wrong' side of the grinder to avoid the pulley unscrewing itself, unless anyone can suggest a failure-proof method of securing the threaded pulley against three horses of unscrewing power?
