I'd like to source a fan cover for an electric motor from NTB. However, searching on the web for such a thing mainly brings you to the pages of a tire and battery distributor.
I fixed most of the issues with this machine, but one problem cropped up. The motor mount flexes when you use a large chisel. I'd like to build a support system and doing so requires me to remove the sheetmetal housing (which I don't like, in any case) and cover the fan since I work from behind the machine.
I plan to run two very heavy aluminum bars down the sides, which will allow support for a large aluminum bracket that attaches to the front of the motor. If all goes as planned it will be sturdy and very easily removable when I convert it back to other forms of use.
....And yes, Patrick, I should have bought a old Wadkin mortiser
