The Home Machinist!

the only thing I see out of place is the one wire that is striped at the end, which was hanging out of the motor for wiring, and the one spot of solder where it looks like the wire was cut at some point. I don't understand it being 110 aND only having 1 lead to hook up for power?

hey fellas, I posted on here along time ago trying to get alittle motor fixed of mine for a belt sander. my stepfather brought me this little motor today that I think will work. but it only has one lead coming out of the windings.? it says 110. I don't quite understand. any help would be awesome!

What could I use these powerlift magnets for? probably don't need both huh? was thinking of maby selling one t...

yeah Ken, I don't think I could get rid of it! I could make a nice profit off of it, but I don't think I could bring myself to sell it, actually think I have a buyer for the Rong Fu mill though! wahoo!
