Engleberg Sanders
Awl--
Acquired a 4" model, 52+" belt, beyond heavy, built like a brick ****house, seems very high quality, ceptin for the burnt out 3 ph motor (cast iron finned Delco motor, fan on back), and bad bottom pulley (the big one) bearing & shaft. Direct drive! Gonna cost $2-300 to fix (identical motor)--mebbe less if I really scrounged, kluged. Since I operate off a rotary, thinking of getting a single phase 220 replacement motor, if possible. Any opinions on the Engleberg, etc.? ---------------------------- Mr. P.V.'d formerly Droll Troll |

Read the frame number off the motor, and if its less than say...7 hp, find a single phase used motor with the same frame size. Check ebay. Gunner Leftwingers are like pond scum. They are green, slimy, show up where they are not wanted, and interfere with the fishing. Strider |

In article ,
says... Yup, Sundstrand! Mine is a 1 hp 3 ph, I bleeve. Only flaw that I can see is, unless the bearings are truly perm. lubed, which mine clearly weren't, there is no easy way to lube'em. Looks I will be paying considerably more than you did! In sweat as well as cash! What is a DMRO auction? I always mix those letters up, DRMO = Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office. Most military bases used to have offices that distributed surplus equipment to local governments, schools, etc., and then solld the remainder at public auctions. Most of this has been taken over by a private contractor... http://www.govliquidation.com/ I just checked, my grinder is also 1 HP. You're unlikely to find anything much nicer, so I wouldn't hesitate to spend a reasonable amount of time and money to get the grinder working again. One thing to check is the flatness of the platen. Mine had a divot worn in it right behind the rest and was twisted as well, probably as a result of stress relief as it wore. The thing is harder than a whore's heart - I had a friend resurface it on his Blanchard grinder. Ned Simmons |

I'm sure you *meant* loiyers/stockbrokers/politicians... Or mebbe, "as hard as actors (or yuppie daytraders) are useless..." Indeed, that platen is quite a piece--uh, so to speak. Anyway, we all need friends w/ Blanchard grinders! And I will check into those DRMO's--sound inneresting. Mine's got the same divot--I'm sure they all do! I may just drill a cupla extree holes on the back plate and reverse the platen. And/or line it w/ some 062 spring steel sheet from MSC. This way, the platen is "planned consummable", sorta like what you see on the bottom of a hand-held belt sander. If I could find a heat-resistant epoxy, this would make the job super-quick/easy. Any clues?? ---------------------------- Mr. P.V.'d formerly Droll Troll Ned Simmons |
