Review: Perfect For 8 inch Powermatic Jointer! Thanks!! - I found a 1980's Powermatic 8 inch jointer ($300) in great condition (after some cleaning and love 😘) with an original 3 phase motor, which was also in perfect condition. But I had only 110/120 in the new home's two-car garage (one of which is slowly becoming a nice little woodworking/all kinds of DIY space, yum😋!). Originally, I did research on research to see what options exist for a homeowner to run 3 phase power. Anything's possible with $$ and a licensed electrician (or someone really comfortable with this work). I knew I needed to have some 220 installed as well just to run the Grizzley dust collectors I picked up too. So, I was facing having to run 3 phase and Single phase 220 power, but the potential spending spree was adding up quickly, AND, the little voice in my head reminding me of our budget was growing louder. Wait, that was my wife helping my not blow caution to the wind. Anyway, one day, as if by chance, my hand grasped the Ring...oops, wrong story. Anyway, the 💡 went off! and this question surfaced: why can't I change the motor, maybe to a 220? This was a scary prospect because 3 phase Powermatic jointer plus trying to get this kind of info from a blog. But as I continued to consider the option, I realized as well that I could totally get more for the money because instead of funding a 3 phase project, I could just add 220 outlets and run everything: jointer, dust collectors, table saw, and any future machines I can find (on the DL ;). So, I went to work researching motors (of which I know nothing), but used all the specs from the 3 phase motor to do so. This particular motor here has identical specs to the 3 phase, minus the 3 phase. And here we are. I waited to review until AFTER I ran electrical, set up the jointer, and used it for a good while. The motor operates flawlessly and it arrived in excellent condition inside a very sturdy ply wood shipping box set up. I'm just a hobby woodworker, so my volume will not be crazy big, but this work around will absolutely meet my needs and render my jointer perfectly useful. I've run up to 6 inch stock so far. Other negative reviewers got bad units, unfortunately, but this was everything I needed it to be.
Review: So far, so good! - I purchased this motor to replace an old Baldor (not original to saw) motor that was on a old Rockwell model 34-440 table saw. I have made some cuts and it is performing well. The installation went pretty good. The motor mount plate was close enough to line up pretty much like the Baldor plate. However, the motor was not quite as long as the Baldor and that caused the power box attached to the outside of the motor to intefere with the "travel" of the motor mount. I was able to overcome by re-aligning the saw and purchasing a new drive belt that was 2" longer. Wiring was easy in that the default wiring was for a 220 circuit and that was what my previous motor required. It was a bit tight working on the power box due to the closeness of the saw as mentioned before. However, the one star deduct is due to the power box "knock out" holes are a real bear to knock out. I ended up drilling the one I needed - not sure why but I work with wiring a good bit, and these holes were not normal. Just make sure you have the hole you want to use "punched (drilled) or whatever" before mounting the motor. But all in all, I'm very pleased with the motor thus far - especially since this saw is so old and I really did not have much trouble with the install. I used it for a small project and it was every bit as powerful as my Baldor.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the duty cycle?**
A: I don't know.  It's not listed on the name plate with the voltage, phase, etc. I've run it for an hour or more at a time on a 2" x 72" belt grinder.  It runs smoothly and is quiet for a 2 Hp. electric motor. I can't stall it even with a 36 grit belt on the machine.

**Q: Is this 115v?**
A: From the title of the listing, Single Phase 115/230 Volt

**Q: No instructions on how to reverse rotation.....how is it done in 115v?**
A: Switch the # 6 and #8 Wires.

**Q: All-white wires. It states to connect a1, 3  and 8 together. For another power connection, they state to connect 2,4,6. Are they power and return?**
A: depends on voltage and direction.  should be a chart.  low voltage 120,  high 220

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ works great on vintage Craftsman table Saw
*by M***X on March 24, 2021*

The motor was awkward to install because of its weight but not too bad! Wiring for 240v was easy. I had to reverse the rotation which was also easy because of the wiring diagram provided. The motor is very strong. I rip with a nice 24 tooth carbide blade--the motor never slowed down ripping treated 2x8 lumber. I woodwork with hard maple and a carbide blade. no bog down ever! I wish I had put this motor on years ago! Good quality at fantastic price.
