Jointer is not a high-torque startup. Induction run ought to do the job.
1.5/2HP would be my choice.

Please tell me that it's not a square head on that beast.

Hi folks,

I've just bought an old 3 phase 9" Jointer and need to obtain a
suitable 240 Volt (UK) single phase motor.

Which type of induction motor would normally be fitted to a
9" Jointer, Capacitor start, Capacitor run, or Cap start and run?
Also what output HP would you recommend?
