Can't trust B&D...he still beats his wife:laughing:...But you have a point on "advertised" hp. Never knew it was an issue on other than "universal" motors (those "whiny" ones found on portable power tools like routers and such).
Noted earlier...when it comes to electrical, the board lights up...usually with something that reminds me of "I wanted the time of day...several people told me how to take my watch apart and put it back together". With that out of the way I'll agree that you never did specify the brand nor the specs. You acquire a "vintage" machine? If so you might want to consider a "sparky"...that "old iron" was a lot different than the new stuff.
My bad... I got caught up in all the excitement and didn't notice that the Grizzly equipment was mentioned by someone else.
Diesel crawler gave you your answer on post #2 don't make it any harder than it is.
Go to Lumberjocks.com and bring up any question about electrical...like ants at a picnic! Still don't know the exact machine the OP is installing...molder/planer I think which brings to mind the old Foley/Belsaw...at one time they also cut the knives for any profile you wanted. I think it since got copied into a smaller machine Woodmaster. The old iron...a friend got an old industrial air compressor...the motor came with 2 big capacitator "tubes" that we can't find replacements for...motors have evolved I guess.
Bingo
I envy you! You must have a lot of lumber available to make it work (or you just want to goof around). You never did answer how you plan to get rid of all the chips/shavings!
Expect A LOT. That company is still in business so I'm sure you can trust their specs.
You're welcome...typical site with the usual number of "snipers" but overall when it comes to home woodworking stuff you'll get a lot of opinions/advice.
