Threadmill motor on Ebay

[vwmark]

Hi - might be of interest for someone. 20 treadmill motors. On 99p with 2 days to go:

^^ Fine if they're universal motors.

180vDc is the handiest voltage as you can power it directly from a mains-supplied thyristor drive. I have drives for at least 2 of those - the 2hp one requires a healthy 12amp drive and would be the most useful to me, but I have no need of twenty motors.

How handy are these for a bench mounted belt sander?
