Often times, those furniture companies use auto feeders with those tools, hence the 3hp motors to handle the feed rate. A hobby shop only needs 1.5hp to 2hp for hand feeding stock. My 8" jointer has a 1.5hp, 3450 rpm, single phase, 110V, induction motor. It has never bogged down, in the slightest.

Baldor, Leeson, Marathon are expensive, as are Powermatics replacement motors.

Grizzly has a 1hp motor for $200. Their 2hp motor is $225 - http://www.grizzly.com/products/Heav...10V-220V/G2535
Would need to check the mounting plate.

A sale is coming soon in Peru, IN. The listings aren't shown, yet. The announcement-list mentions jointers (plural) and maintenance equipment & supplies ....might there be some motors? Isn't Peru much closer to you? Might be worth the wait-n-see what's offered, there.
