[David DeCristoforo]

Just took delivery of the motor for my new shop built router table.

I am absolutely gonna need some stronger casters!

100 horse power baby....
107652

That's gonna spin those panel raisers no problem....

OK...I'm off the see the power company about running some 460 3 phase out to my garage....

[Ron Bontz]

So where do you buy your 6 foot dia. panel raisers? :D

[Dan Keeling]

Did I read the plate correctly showing that it weighs over 1000 LBS?

[Larry Edgerton]

I thought you were building an electric truck..........

[David DeCristoforo]

"... it weighs over 1000 LBS?"

Yep. Ergo the stronger casters!

[Greg Cole]

I have a 150 HP spare motor in my day job shop for those "industrial" applications.:rolleyes:

[Stephen Edwards]

I reckon you'll have to move one of the semi trucks out of the garage now to make room for the "router table"!

[Bill White]

should be refered to as a router DECK as in aircraft carrier deck. The cooling fans will probably blow off the roof anyhow.
Bill:D

[Jim Becker]

Just think about what will happen to your hands and arms when the cutter bites into that piece of wood solidly... LOL

[Larry Edgerton]

With those 6' cutters at 1725 rpm you will have a cutting edge speed of 382MPH, so I would recommend earmuffs. For everyone in the surrounding 5 miles...

I wonder what you would need for a feed speed?

[Steve Clardy]

I don't think you can feed panels to it fast enough. :eek::D

[Sonny Edmonds]

Look like hollow shaft pump motors to me.
I've rebuilt more of those things than I care to remember! Up to 350 HP. :p

[David DeCristoforo]

"Look like hollow shaft pump motors to me."

Nope. They are router motors. The guy assured me they were. Said they fell off a truck. Shows how much you know...

[Chip Lindley]

Does Incra make a Fence *Befitting* of those? Tell them to get right on that!!

[Josiah Bartlett]

I bet turning one of those on involves calling someone at the power station to bring another generator on line :)

My father was in management at a paper mill. He took me in there one time when they had one of their 3000 hp motors apart for maintainence and I got to stand inside the stator housing. I have one of the rollers from a bearing race at that plant and its the size of a soda can and it weighs about 10 pounds. The race held 26 of them and it had failed. There were gouges in that race that ran a half inch deep.

Mmmmm, lemme see. I get it now. Clever. You spin the shop instead of the bit. Al
