I have a 1/3 hp resistance start-induction run 240V motor from a treadmill that I wish to put on a cheap drill press to replace the POS 1/4 hp on it.
As I intend to use it for tapping, I will use a 3p-dt to switch the start windings to reverse. The only trouble is I was told that constant stop-starts would overheat the start windings.
If this is true would a motor start capacitor in series with the start windings be of any use or sheer folly.
Any advice from the electric motor wizz kids out there will be greatly appreicated.
Thanks
John
