Anyone know of a good place to find electric motors? Need one that's 1725 rpm, 110v, single phase, 1/2 hp.

Try these:

Grainger http://www.grainger.com/
Harbor Freight http://www.harborfreight.com/
Northern Tools & Equipment http://www.northerntool.com/

Cheers.

Craigslist Seriously though, you find good motors all day long for cheap money if you look. I "almost" drove out to pick up four motors (two 1hp's!) for just $50.00, but it was a 45 minute drive one way and I don't "really need" anymore spares really.

they also sell a nifty 3/4 horse dc variable speed motor and a 130v 8amp controller for $50 plus shipping for those of you looking to build variable speed grinders or whatnot.

If you have 220v available in your shop you can get one of their 2.5 horse treadmill motors and pair it up with a kbic 225 controller off ebay for a more serious grinder/saw motor.

for the 120v motor:

120v controller

for the 220v motor

http://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp?UID=2008012115142027&item=10-1783&catname=electric

this one works well with a KBIC 225 controller, but you have to find that on ebay or something like that.

Lee,
I'm down by BPT, were the motors around the southwest part of the state?
