Baldor vs. Leeson, Unisaw replacment motors.
Afternoon All,
Time to rebuild one of my fleet of Unisaws and I am debating what motor to put in it. I have a 4hp Leeson (pn#120998) in one of my Uni's but this time I think I will go with a 3hp Baldor (pn#WWLl3606). One funny tidbit is that the 3hp Baldor weighs in at 74lbs and the 3hp Leeson weighs in at 51lbs. Even the 4hp Leeson at 62lbs does not weigh as much as the 3hp Baldor. Does anyone know why one weighs so much more than the other? Any general comments about Baldor vs. Leeson? Has anyone used the Baldor Unisaw motor? Thanks, David. |

Aluminum windings? Just a guess.

David, I have used both in commercial applications. Both are fine however, the Baldor is more reliable. I have replaced three Leesons for any one Baldor. I think the new Leesons are made in Singapore. As for the weight, do they both have only one capicitor and are they both TEFC?

I've never heard of Leeson, but I have Baldor motors in my spa. They get far more time on them than many power tools and have been incredibly reliable. Barry |

We have both at work, All of the new motors are lighter and less reliable than the old motors. The new ones are more energy efficient though. I'd give Baldor a slight edge in reliability. Mass Electric gave us a bunch of money to replace all our old inefficient motors. When the new ones burned up, we'd slip the old ones back in until the new more efficient motor is repaired. These are in the 15 HP to 75 HP range. The old ones have been running for about 20 years, the new ones started to die in one year. The new ones have lighter housing and probably lighter winding, but I'm not a motor expert. Ed http://pages.cthome.net/edhome |
