I recently picked up a BP Mill, built in 1957 I believe - Serial number starts with BR33. The motor is shot or so I believe. It is a MF pancake like motor. I tried to run it with a static phase converter and all it did was hummm and Between two of the windings (I forget which two legs of the 9) I have zero resistance. I am installing a RPC for my lathe, varible speed Clausing 20" drill press and maybe my BP Mill.
I have two choices on hand as I picked up several motors at an auction. I have a 2hp 3ph 1725 RPM Baldor motor with 7/8" shaft, C face or a 1 hp Baldor DC motor 1750 RPM, C face, 7/8" shaft with a KB variable speed controller, no heat sink or reversing switch.
I am a hobby machinist at best.
My question to the group is which motor would you install and why? go easy on me, my first post and novice machinist
