Hi all,
My state university sculpture shop has a 24" Powermatic bandsaw (model 2415) with a bad motor (5hp, 3phase). I am having a hard time finding an available and/or reasonably priced Powermatic replacement motor. Does anyone know if there is a generic or off-brand motor that would be suitable replacement to work in this machine?
I consulted with Grizzly tech support because I've heard of people having success swapping out with their motors (not with this particular bandsaw). Grizzly could not confirm that their motor would work in this case. Because this is for a state school and for student use, our electricians will have to install the motor. I was just hoping there might be someone here familiar enough with Powermatic to make a recommondation for a motor.
Thanks- Jeff
