I finally brought home my Delta/Rockwell sander,

The motor was a 3450 RPM 3 phase motor and I could not easily find the motor
I wanted in 3450 RPM single phase. I decided on a 1.5HP 1725 RPM Leeson cap
start cap run motor with a manual reset overload. This required a larger
pulley but was not a problem to source.

I will be mounting the new mag starter inside the stand and using the
original remote on/off buttons.

I could probably just switch the motor and start using the machine, but I am
going to tear it down and paint it, replace the bearings, etc.

I was hoping for an older one, but 6 years is a long enough time to be
looking...
