Hello all, I recently purchased a Rockwell 28-2C0 which is basically the wood only version of the 28-200 I learned thanks to you all here on the forum. I will be installing a 6" riser and will be using this to re-saw lumber. I don't feel the 3/4 HP motor is enough. I found an old 3 HP single phase(as I dont have 3ph in my shop) Fairbanks-Morse repulsion start induction motor. It is 1745 RPM and the motor I have is 1725 RPM. Will the 20 RPM difference matter? Also does this motor seem fit for the application? It is a 100 bucks which is quite a bit cheaper than other single phase options. I can probably get the guy to come down on the price if this will be a good fit for my application. I am just trying to save as much money as I can cause I still have other purchases to make to compete my wood-shop. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Ill post some pics too.
