Hi All

Until last week I was using a little (probably 1/3hp) electric motor
to power a combination diamond saw / grinder / polisher unit. I guess
that the original motor was ex an old washing machine.

I can't believe that you got so many replies for a thread about a motor
that has obviously seen better decades.

Why on earth you thought youy could replace it with the tiny little
thing required to spin a grinding wheel is beyond me. Get another
motor, or have that one rewound.
