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


I have one powering a low speed grinder via a belt and mandrel. It was
the devil to mount. I wound up cutting a hole in a square of plywood
and mounting it through the hole. Then used two shelf brackets to hold
the board upright.


Lee Valley has a motor mounting kit that might work.
