Q: The Baldor motor you purchased is $600+ (new). How are you going to stay at the $800 budget mark... did you get a smokin' deal on a used one?
Rockhound, I found the motor on Ebay (link below) this AM, never used and wired with a switch for $238 shipped. I liked what I saw and just went for it. I had to call Baldor first and ask what shaft diameter it had, as it wasn't listed on the auction, and it is 5/8". So hopefully all is well and as listed.
