Electric motor brackets

[Randal Stevenson]

I am posting this here, since this is for my benchtop drill press.

Now that I have a full size one, I am breaking down, cleaning up and restoring/repainting, my benchtop Atlas. (plan is to put it in my fathers shop)
I plan on a motor upgrade, since I have a 1/2 hp Baldor (press still has, maybe the original 1/3 hp motor).

Years ago, you used to be able to get different mounting brackets, that would bolt to the motors frame as an accessory. Now, so many motors come with them prewelded, I haven't seen them in a while.

Anyone know where to get some, or is this something else I am going to have to rig up (yet ANOTHER project)?

Thanks

check to see if there is a motor repair shop close to you . here in dayton we have a place called m&r motor repair and they sell the brackets you need. that is where i picked up one when i made my sharpening rig.
