Anyone knows if Farm Duty motor is suitable for woodworking machines?


Depends on the maker. It's a weasel term that could mean anything they
want it to mean. Originally it meant light duty cycle, not continuous,
but better seals and bearing lubrication on the assumption of never
being serviced again. Somewhere between industrial and light duty.

TEFC is the crucial thing to look out for. Woodworking is a hard
environment for dust.
