First, a big "thank you" who everyone who has asked questions about slab saw motors and/or posted responses over the past few years. I've learned a lot from you!
Yesterday I bought a homemade tank of a 14" slab saw. It looks like a great setup... that is missing its primary motor. I suspect that the son of the builder re-appropriated it. At any rate, the motor's gone.
Today I've been looking for a suitable replacement motor in the 3/4-1hp range. The specs on the one below look pretty good to me, but I'm thrown by the two listed RPM ratings and the horsepower rating. Is this a 1.33 horsepower motor, or a motor that pulls 1hp while running one way and 1/3hp while running another? And a similar question regarding RPM- will this motor run 1725rpm while spinning CCW and 1140rpm while spinning the other direction? Or is there another reason behind the two RPM listings?
I appreciate any other thoughts on using this motor to power a slab saw. :-)
