Just bought an old Rockwell 8 inch jointer that is powered by a 3 Phase motor. I need to repower this for home use- 1 Ph 220 volt.
I am looking at new/used 1.5 and 2 HP electric motors to replace the 3 Ph monster. Since there is no 3 PH power source available, I cant tell if the present motor is a 3450 RPM model or not - No motor tags/info. Should I buy a 1750 RPM motor or a 3450 RPM motor since I am replacing the motor anyway ? Can I use the old 3 PH on/off motor control on the new 220 V motor ? What else should I look out for as far a potential problems ? Thanks, MG.
