Ok,
my home made linisher's motor has finally quit.....platten size is 4"x15".....running a 1/2 HP motor.....220v x 1400RPM..
I can buy a new motor in the UK £100 plus post and import duty (£60/80 inc'ish) or Germany €92 plus postage at €40'ish....BUT stuff doesn't always turn up.....long story.....
tried to buy 1 locally but they quoted €300 + VAT....for the same thing.....ouch....
so as there's tons of dumped washing machines laying around I wondered if on a Medium/low speed would one of those motors do the job....?
no idea on what wires to use.....my thinking it prob dosen't need 1/2HP anyway
I just use it to clean burr's, nothing heavy....
v/happy to buy new but the extras, post / import duty, no where can I get a def quote....
Idea's from the brains on the forum pls......
plus I need it soon....
no worries about pulley/shaft sizes etc easy to make/bodge stuff up.....
