I've been scrounging for materials to build a homemade lathe. Work was getting rid of this cooling reservior. I spied the motors on it.
There were 3 WEG 575v, 3 phase motors - 2hp, 3hp and 5hp. Thinking about bartering with a rebuilder for something new and 220v single phase. More practical for residential service.
Plus, I have a hot tub to boot! Or a rain water collector. Depends on the wife.
This is what I haul with, a Neon and a hand-me-down homemade trailer. Didn't add it to the other thread.
Progress updates on the lathe are at my blog and soon on the website. Thanks in advance if you visit either.
