Default What can I do with this?

Found this in the garage. No idea where it's from or what to do with it. RPM from the label in the second pic is 1620.





Turn it into a meat grinder? http://www.sausagemania.com/grinder.html

Or a big wood sanding disc? Other ideas?

Edited to add: It is 1 HP. You can sort of make it out but the glare obscures the 1 in the second pic.

Default Fan motor

Looks like a fan motor for a furnace blower.

Use it to make a big rotary tumber for cleaning brass using stainless media.

Like this one.

Find your self a gear reducer to mate to it and make a pig roaster/rotisserie. I see it requires 220v. as well.
belt sander
grinder wheel
cement mixer

I am sure you will come up with something worthy,lol.

Didn't notice that until you mentioned it. That is going to be a problem unless I do that old trick of using 110 plugs. Not sure how safe that is though and electrical is not my strong suit.

Smile spare

Does it match the motor on your furnace fan? Bet you it is a spare for that.
