Best motor for a Enco lathe

[Ulma Doctor]

baldor has a good sheet on frames, what the output shaft size is, and other info.
Then it's a matter of seeing if the mounting plate or flange depending aligns with what you have.

The 56 and 145T mounting feet are the same placement and feet dimensions

That’s a pretty good deal on that motor. I may pull the trigger on it. Is that a pretty decent brand?

3 phase motors are generally pretty good regardless of brand.
You’ll not go wrong with Baldor, WEG, General Electric, Marathon, or US Motors- other brands are still viable

Could it be wired for low voltage or am I better off with the one you recommended

I keep finding good ones but they don’t have mounting plates

If it’s a 9 wire motor, yes it can be tapped for 230v

Well I did some digging on Baldors site and ran across a killer deal on eBay. Got this one for $200 plus $90 shipping
