Electric motor brands

[matthewsx]

Shopping for an electric motor for the 2 x 72 belt grinder I bought a while back. I'm pretty sure I want a 1700 - 1800 rpm 56C 2hp 3 phase but I'm a little torn on what one to get. Obvious, just buy a USA made Baldor and call it done.... Well, I'm not about to get another $800 into this project (paid $200) for machine without a motor.

Kinda narrowed it down to this Dayton (Mexico) from Zoro for $325

And this Hallmark Industries on eBay for $230

Does anybody have experience with Hallmark? Any reason not to spend the extra $95 on belts?

Thanks,

John

I brought home a couple motors tonight . All are Baldors . I'll see what is out in front yard as that's where they ended up . Motors are good . Output shaft my be worn . .022 cents at the scrap yard . Easy to fix when your on your own time , but scrap to companies . I find it easy $$$$$$ .

I’ve heard good things about automation directs house brand (chinese?) motors.
Decent savings with better QC etc and an established company for warranty and piece of mind.

It’s an option

Let me know what you've got, don't mind putting a little work into something if the price (and shipping) are right....

Their trash is my treasure . Working 6 days a week , 13 hrs a day filling in for injured people , vacation relief , lack of mechanics , no machinists that really do what we need , I come home tired . 13 hr today which was my day off . I bought my cheap beer . I'm listening to my old country radio station out of Pa. winding down . Tomorrows plans are to cut up and remove 14' solid oak beams from the parking lot at work . They put in a work order for a facililties guy to get rid of it . He asked if I was interested . Uh , yeah . I'll be over with a chainsaw tomorrow and I need one of the long beams . Firewood for the rest of the year . As far as the Hawiaan connection , Mike knows what is going on . Nothing is moving out other than a mill , as soon as I get the damn garrage door open .

Man Dave… thought you were winding down at work?!?
Dude…. Take care of yourself!!!

14 foot oak beams?!? That sounds very useful and $$$??? Just going to cut them up and burn them?

I need to get down for some cheep beer soon…. After the arctic weather…..
I’ll help you sort and move stuff!!!

I can say that the Mennonite businesses around here that repair AC motors are big fans of Lesson…. Marathon is decent but not as highly praised. Those seem to be the 2 go to brands

(Edit to say I personally have limited 1st hand knowledge, so it’s just hearsay lol)

Once again , a small of effort will heat the house and I need a full length beam for a project . You've been here , we love future project materials . These beams are just too nice to burn . we'll cut them up to what I need and burn the rest . Yeah , winding down . 13 hr days . WTH ?

12 am and your Pa. I 105 time machine broadcast is almost over . One more cheapie and I'm heading in . Everybody is always welcome at the inn .
