Default Uses for 1/4 hp furnace blower motor

I have an almost new 1/4 hp furnace motor just gathering dust. Need
some ideas for a good use for the motor. Would like uses that would
apply to my woodworking shop.

Thanks in advance for any replies......Dan



Dan,

About 15 years ago I made a non-oscillating 3x3 drum sander and a 8" disc
sander from two motors I had around. Still have them and use them. You
could also make a buffing wheel. One day I will re-do my disc sander and
make an adjustable tilting table for it. Right now I am busy doing other
things.
