I am new on this forum. I am creating an after school crafts program for mid-grades. I have an old Frantom 16" saw that needs a motor. Would a single phase 1070 RPM motor work? Any advice on install?
I hooked another old motor that was given to me but the specs were worn off and after hooking it up the blade is rotating in the opposite direction plus I am concerned that the motor may not meet spec for saw. Also the belt is not perfectly aligned. I am thinking to buy a new motor and use the old one for grinders.
any recommendations for a new motor?
Thank you!

The previous motor on the 16" saw that froze up was 1/2 HP 1725 RPM 115/230 volts 3/4 amp Single phase. I don't think this is the correct specs for this type of saw.

Hello and welcome to the forum. We have a lot of folks here who are very knowledgeable about motors etc. so I'm certain that you will get good straightforward advice - I'm just not sure your questions are going to get the right exposure here in the introductions board. I would suggest posting in the Cutting Rocks Slabs/Saws area for the best results - OR I can move your thread into that area for you if you desire. Again, welcome!

I am new on this forum. I am creating an after school crafts program for mid-grades. I have an old Frantom 16" saw that needs a motor. Would a single phase 1070 RPM motor work? Any advice on install? Any motor speed that can spin the saw blade at the correct speed with the right pulleys is okay, equal sized pulleys if you're using a sintered blade like a MK303 or 4" on the motor and 5" on the arbor for anything else. Also the feed pulley on the Arbor shaft is best at 2.45" to 3", with at least a 5" diameter pulley on the feed shaft at the back of the saw. PM if you need to and I can show you pics of the 18 FranTom I just finished refreshing and started using. I hooked another old motor that was given to me but the specs were worn off and after hooking it up the blade is rotating in the opposite direction plus I am concerned that the motor may not meet spec for saw. Also the belt is not perfectly aligned. I am thinking to buy a new motor and use the old one for grinders. Your motor may be reversible, usually a black wire and red wire under the wiring cover that should be reversed. Without knowing for sure the HP it may not be a good choice. Any 48 or 56 frame motor should line up the belt when the pulleys are mounted to line it up. I have been buying motors off of Amazon lately. With pulleys set up like I said 1/2 HP will work, if you intend to press the limits of the saw 3/4 HP is better. My FranTom 18" has a 1/2 HP now, but when I am ready to redo the building the saws are in I will most likely change to 3/4.any recommendations for a new motor? Thank you!

They also used it on the 18" saw, the 24" saw had 3/4 HP. I have had a few of them pass through my hands over the years.
