before i start randomly poking electrons where they shouldn't go, i
need some advice from the more experienced
electro-mechanical-woodworkers of the shopbuilt persuasion -

1. have *old* 220/240V 50/60Hz asko wash mach motor that worked before
replaced washer...

2. have not had much luck esearching motor info online, (nameplate
info: Siemens 1BV5565-2BM 71130010/23 60/250W 220V 60Hz
12microFarads... has six leads on a molex kinda connector, 1 blue
(presume controller signal), 4 blk, and one grn/yel (presume
gnd/neutral)...

3. *NOT* a pro/amateur/very experienced electrical practioner, but i
know which end of the wire to lick while standing barefoot in water...

4. want to know if motor is suitiable to be used to drive a shopbuilt
disc sander ? ? ? (want to make 12" dia disc; *seems* like it should
be powerful and durable enough...)

5. ignorant question: want to know if can be hooked up as 120V, or
have to use 220/240V (which would probably make it an impractical
project at that point)...

thanks in advance for advice, warnings, and gratuitous carping diem...

Hi Art,

This is something that you just don't want to be guessing about. Even
the most experienced electrician would need the wiring diagram in order
to use this motor. And, as you say, you really have no electrical
experience. If you lose your life in the process of trying to use this
motor, then it doesn't matter how much money you save, you really can't
afford it.

I've purchased several used motors from motor repair shops with wiring
diagrams. You can save a bunch of money doing it this way and there's
a heck of a lot less at risk.

You have what is known as a "definite purpose" motor designed
specifically to meet the duty cycle of a clothes washing machine.

For any other application, it is about as useful as a set of tits on a
boar hog.

Scrap it.

if it says 220/240V then it won't run on 110.

sounds like you don't really have much to lose by hooking up wires
semi-randomly and applying juice, other than a salvaged motor and
possibly your life. but washing machine motors aren't generally great
for dusty environments or variable loads.

You likely have a multi speed motor. And yes it may work for a disc
sander If you can figure out the wiring or die trying. Send it in to
a motor repair shop and ask them to mark all the wires and resulting
RPM and ask if they can supply a mutiposition switch for speed
control.

I bought a 9" velcro-ed disc plate with sandpaper and used a 1/6 HP
motor with 1/2" shaft to spin it up. This made a very nice disc
sander, although you cannot just ram a chunk of material into it.
Your on the right track with the wrong motor.

Pete

I Assume the 250W is for watts which would mean its only 1/4-1/3 HP
which isn't much for a disk sander.

Here's a little bit of the blind leading the blind....

Don't forget that part of that 220v goes to heating up the water. I'd
guess that means that you can't know anything about what the motor
alone requires based on what was going into the washer.

Probably best to toss the sucker, unless you just want to play around
with it.
