Afternoon Lads
![]() Dug out an old electric motor to use for the forge blower . ![]() ![]() An 8" machinist rule in the foreground just so you can get an idea of the size , its not a large motor , and all I could make out from the label was 240v and fractional . So out came the test gear just to make sure the motor was safe and to fined out what the RPMs where , turned out to be 1450 rpm . ![]() Wire nuts ,love em,,,,,,,,,, probably the best thing to come out of the USA since Burger King ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There great for quick hook ups . ![]() ![]() Suppose I better get the old Etch A Sketch out and draw up a blower ![]() Cheeeeers Rob

Rob, If you have one on your pile, a TEFC motor (totally enclosed fan cooled) would be a better choice round a forge. There'll be lots of dust and cinders drawn through that vented one

Hi Andrew ,
I agree , a TEFC motor would be a MUCH better choice ,but I dont have one to hand ,well I do but its 1 1/2 Hp . and being the tight arse that I am I don't want to buy one ![]() ![]() Cheers Rob

Hi Rob, Even if you did buy a motor , you would then get one offered for free within the next couple of days and it would be too much trauma to go through
![]() ![]() Like you say it will get you up and running.........I am looking forward to seeing it fired up ![]() Cheers Mick.
