Our local auction has around 8 older electric motors set to be sold off in tomorrow's sale. The motors are all from different manufacturers and range from 1/2 hp to 3/4 and all are 1ph. Some of the motors are quite large and all the housings are the old-fashioned type: heavy cast.
I have been looking for a good motor to run a belt sander in my home shop but what I don't know is what are the potential disadvantages vs. the advantages.
Can anybody make some comments?
TIA, David Todtman
