Bit of a longshot, anyone have an electic motor?

[jonathan creason]

I'm working on building myself a new grinder, and pretty much have everything I need now.............except the motor.  I do have an old treadmill I considered robbing one out of, but I'd rather have a decent 1-1.5 hp AC motor.  Needs to be 110-115v.  I can offer the knife shown in ths thread: http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,38118.0.html

Oh man!  I'd just about take apart my furnace to get a chance at that knife!

Let me see what I can work up for you.....any specific rpm needed?

[jonathan creason]

Not really, the slower the better but I'll be using step pulleys to adjust it.

Jonathan. I have an old Sears joiner that you can have the motor if you take the whole thing.    I'm not sure what size motor but I can check. You will have to come and get it.

I built mine using a bench grinder, and dimmer switch. One side is the belt sander the other side has a big flapper wheel on it.

If you get a chance to get the specs from the motor that would be great, Pat.  I appreciate it.

I have an electric weed eater motor... idk if that's worth anything to you?

I can't find a tag on thre motor but it is 7" in diameter and about 5" long. I'd guess 1/2hp to 3/4hp. I'll try to get a better look and see if I can find an info tag. The joiner is 4' long and weighs a ton.

[jonathan creason]

I did some research and it seems that 1/2 hp was the most common motor on those, Pat.  I think I'm going to hold out and see what James is able to hunt up, a 1/2 hp motor will bog down pretty easily when doing heavy grinding.  I appreciate the offer, though.  If I had extra space I'd come get it just to have.

I have a 3/4 hp and a 1 hp The 1 hp woudl probably be best I thought about using it to make a belt sander but the rpm is alittle high for me..  The 3/4 is on a pump for a hot tub.. If the other guy can not get you one let me know

Do you happen to know the specs on it, Eddie?
