I'm thinking about putting a 14-1/2 inch SB into a spare bedroom in my apartment. There is 230V circuit for a clothes dryer I can use. I want to switch the 2HP to a 3HP motor and use a static phase convertor. This should work to restore the loss caused by the static convertor.
The flat belt drive is very quiet but I wonder about quieting the power feed gear train. Any ideas?
I can drape the wall with a plastic drop cloth. I'd put 3/4 inch plywood under the leg and pedestal to spread the load. The rest of the floor would see thinner ply. I can get rubber roll roofing and cover all the plywood.
Has anyone else been silly enough to try this? If so, what was the outcome?
Thanks,
Larry
