I have a small Elgin Vertical mill. I believe the model is VM-5. I purchased it from a gentleman just outside Buffalo NY. He delivered it with a 3 phase 1725 r.p.m. motor. According to the literature I found, 1750 was an option but 1150 was the standard speed. The wear on some of the bits is simply excessive and I'd like to slow it down. I can't find any information regarding how many HP the mill should have. I'd like to step down to the standard speed of 1150, and would be thrilled to find an original replacement. Information on the right size motor would be appreciated, as would be any leads on finding an original motor.
If anyone has overhauled the table, I'd love to hear from you. There's a lot of wear to deal with moving on X and Y.
