Hello All,
I'm getting ready to purchase a motor for a Delta Unisaw (left tilt, X5 model) and am trying to go the inexpensive route (relatively). I bought the saw without a motor or motor pulley...the saw is otherwise complete. I've read multiple forum posts that a NEMA 56 frame motor can be used with a grizzly motor mount with good results on a unisaw. I am considering purchasing the motor from a grizzly G1023SL (part number G1023SL056) from Grizzly website (I have included links to schematics below ). I am trying to determine if this motor when coupled with the grizzly motor mount, part number P1023SL056A will make this saw functional again. I also do not have a motor pulley and will need to order that from grizzly as well.
I called Grizzly and they were unable to tell me the NEMA category number for this motor, but I was able to get a few dimensions from them. Also of note this motor should have the correct shaft rotation for the unisaw (counter-clockwise) as the grizzly model G1023SL is a left tilt as well.
Overall length 11-1/2”
Height- 8-1/4”
Center of shaft to frame 3-1/2”
Bolt pattern 3” x 4-15/16”
Shaft length: 2-5/16”
Shaft diameter 7/8”
Schematic parts for Grizzly G1023SL:

So, my question is ….Has anyone out there successfully used this motor in a unisaw? If not, do any of you have an opinion on the liklihood that it would work for this application? If it can be used in my saw I will be able to get a motor, motor mount and motor pulley for under $300.
Thanks in advance,
Russ
