Motor mount for F56
I'm attempting to build a thickness drum sander, and the motor I bought
has a mount called an F56C. Basically, if you're looking straight at the output shaft, there are 4 bolt holes in the "face" of the motor, 4.125" apart. What's the typical way to mount this motor so that tension of the belt can still be adjustable? |

I have used a couple of them for tool drives. The easiest way is to use a piece of 13 ply, 3/4" plywood as a mount. Drill clearance holes for the four (4) mounting bolts and cut out the hole for the C-Face rabbit to fit. What is the C-Face rabbit? It looks like I would have to cut two rabbits. One approx 1.5" in diameter where the output shaft is, then a groove approx 1/4" wide that is perhaps 3, 3.5" in diameter. (didn't measure it yet). Do have have to cut those rabbits? |
