[Shop-talk] lathe motor

[Brian Warrick]

I purchased a similar motor off of my local craigslist, but I had to
wait a long time for one to appear and I have not seen one since.  We
are using a 1/2 Hp Harbor Freight motor running a small reciprocating
airbrush type compressor for 1 year of 10 hour days, 7 days a week
operation without any problems.

Try http://www.craigslist.org, they seem to pop up there all the time in
the
seattle area.  I have heard of people using the cheap  5hp compressor
motor
from Harbor Freight to make a rotary phase convertor; maybe that will
work
on the lathe.
