I have a Woodstock M1017 Lathe/Mill combo. The lathe motor went out on me this weekend mid project. I took the motor to a local motor repair shop and the guy told me it is a European motor. Don't know what that means. Anyways he replaced the run capacitor and it seams to run fine now. I am a little concerned that this motor may be on its way out so I would like to replace it with a motor that can be repaired locally ect. The current motor is 1.5 hp 110v 16 amp turns 1680 rpm and is reversible. I have anything from three phase on down in my shop so I can put anything in there. Any ideas/suggestions? I would not mind increasing the hp if I could at the same time. Thanks in advance for the help.
