Agreed, time to put this thread to rest.
I did decide to not pursue trying to increase the designed incline, it is
not worth the risk of something going wrong

Hi Dan,
I beg to differ with you on there not being any arc.
Think about a treadmill.
You have two ends of a treadmill.
One that stays stationary, in other words, in one position, and the second
end, which is the end that will be moving up and down.
If you raise the one end, and keep the othe

Victor, essentially, if you raise one end of the treadmill by 60 inches,
the angle between the treadmill and the vertical is zero degrees. so the
percent slope would be 60 inch rise divided by zero inch run, anything

Dan, I didn't think it was possible for you to confuse me more, but it seems
that you have.
So was I right in my supposition of the arc?
Can you effectively raise one end of the treadmill the 60 inches and have it
hit a 90 degree angle at it's pinnacle?
I don't think so, as the one end of the
Everyone is making one simple mistake in their calculation of the percent
slope. You are using the length of the treadmill as one half of the slope
calculation. Saying that if the length of the treadmill is 60 inches,
then raising one end 60 inches gives you 100 percent slope, that is a

Hi Tom,
I don't think your formula is true, in the sense that the 60 inches up it
must travel is in an arc, therefore it won't be exactly a 100% angle, as 60
inches around an arc will not cause the 60 inch long platform to go up to a
90 degree angle.

Actually, I was always under the impression that a 45 degree incline was
100% one unit of rise per one unit of run.
You calculate percent incline by doing rise over run, then multiplying by
100.
On roads, where you see percent grade the incline is usually pretty small,
so the run is nearly the
