Not to exciting to you eastern boys
but here in Idaho been looking for a decent mill
for awhile. Found an older 5hp 10X54 Taiwan built Acra - CK-4HK
for $400. weighs about 3,000lbs ??

You will GENERALLY find a 2 or 2.5hp motor on most BP/clone mills.
3hp is rather unusual.

Your mill is a slightly beefier version..as one can tell by the
weight.

Clearly stamped 3hp but is a Jih Chin taiwan induction motor
so probably only as strong as a 2hp Baldor :-)
writing is kinda faded but can see a .6 under 230v and 4.3 @440v
9.6 amp should be bout right for a 3ph 3hp motor @230v
I will put a amp gauge on it when I get it wired and see.
