I killed a woodworking lathe yesterday. The company is in England and their website is set up to make it impossible to email them for support from the US and I'm too cheap to call them long distance.
I asked for help in a woodworking forum, no replies yet and it's not looking good. So I come begging for help.
The motor was a 1/3hp capacitor start induction run and it was face-mounted to a bracket on the lathe via four bolts in a square pattern. Surplus Center has some motors they say are face-mounted, but don't show how they are mounted. So my question is: For a face-mounted motor - is there a standard hole pattern on the end of the motor? For example, my broken motor has a diameter of about 6" and the bracket is four bolts 2.5" apart. If I buy a face-mounted motor site unseen will it come with four holes in the shaft end, in a square pattern, 2.5" from each other?
thanks
Joe
