All,
I was looking th the Grizzly catalog today and their electric motors. They all have a disclaimer in the description that says 'Not for Air Compressor Use'. I know a compressor puts some unique strains on a motor, especially when the tank is partially full and the motor fires on and the compressor doesn't have an unloader valve, or it is stuck. That said, I am no motor expert and am curious. What is it about air compressor use that makes these Grizzly motors unsuitable? As long as you pick a motor with the right horsepower, why wouldn't it work?
