I have had a olddd delta 14" bandsaw for about 16 years and it was rebuilt when i bought it. Motor just burnt up it was always too small any body know what size hp motor would be the correct size. Thanks Ed S.
Lowest were originally 1/2 HP, understand they go to 1 1/2 now. Mine's a
1HP. What you choose depends on your purpose and patience. Just make sure it is the same "frame" as the one it replaces to ease mounting.
Oh yes, if you get a 1 horse Baldor for the open stand model, you'll need to reverse the armature so the capacitor/switch box doesn't interfere with opening the lower door.
Make sure it's TEFC as well (mine accidentally shipped with an open motor -- doesn't work at all, of course I sent it right back). But the 1725 RPM is what you want, not 3450.
Before I answer this, let me say I'm not a mechanical engineer, so this is what I "think" the answer is :)
Changing the pulleys would definitely be able to affect the speed of the blade. However, and here's where I'm shady on the whole thing, wouldn't that change the torque being applied to the wheels/blade? Would it be less force applied to the blade as a result, which would affect resaw for example -- or do I have it completely wrong. In which case, replacing the pulleys is fine (unless they cost more with the 3450rpm motor than just purchasing the 1725rpm motor in the first place ;)
Carefull, These will need some modification. Note also they are 3450 RPM ********Quote from site;********** Motor Feet Help
? These motors are face mount and come with floor mounting instructions. Additionally there are many muffler shops or auto repair shops that can charge about $10-$20 to weld on new mounting feet or brackets for you !!!
