I stripped all the paint off the spindle motor using a 90 degree die grinder with 2 inch roloc scotchbrite discs... that was a dirty mess... but I got it stripped to the bare castings, primed, and painted.
The new bearings should be here today, but I won't have a chance to work on it again until next week.
The data plate on this motor is long gone... all I know is that it was made by GE... I don't know what hp it is (I'm guessing ¾ hp?), what rpm it turns at, current draw, etc...
I also reinstalled the transformer,wiring box, and 110v outlet on the base...
I just cleaned it as well as I could... the wiring diagram for the transformer is on the outside of the box. I didn't want to get too aggressive with cleaning it and lose the diagram... 'it is what it is'.
Next week, I plan to get the motor reassembled and installed, get the grinding head prepped, painted, and back on the base, and hopefully finish the wiring.
