I need a motor starting capacitor for a 3/4hp 60Hz 115 Volt Bench Grinder.

Sometime ago I posted here in hopes of finding specifically what cap would
work. I got several responses, some provided general knowledge on
capacitors, some went into discussions whether it was run cap or start cap,
some sent me links to where to buy (although I didn't know WHAT to buy),
some suggested going to the manuf (Chinese generic). While I appreciate
those who responded, none gave me anything that I could use to purchase a
specific capacitor.

I'm not expecting anyone to guarantee that a specific cap will work, but
someone out here must have a bench grinder similar to mine that they've at
one time or another done an autopsy on that could tell me at least what cap
was in their particular machine.

Any help is appreicated. I'm tired of spinning my grinder before turning it
on!


It's really not that critical, just google motor start capacitor and
find a place that sells them. Call them and tell them what you have,
they'll probably be able to tell you what will work. It sounds like
people have already given you the best advice they can, any start cap
for a 120V motor in that HP range should work fine.
