Just picked another piece of old iron, a BF benchtop flatbelt DP just up the road. The motor that came with it is an open frame fan motor which I want to change out - I have both a 1/4 hp DC & a 1/3 hp AC spare sitting around - the only problem is they are 3450 rpm.
I also have a fairly stock Canedy-Otto benchtop with its flatbelt running from the motor up & over jockey pulleys to the spindle. The BF has the small countershaft at the bottom rear driving the flat belt up to the countershaft driving the bevel gear to the spindle - similar but different.
I haven't gotten into the spindle bearings to determine their type so before using the C-O as the basis for spindle speeds, any additional info would be appreciated!
Thanks,
