8” Bandsaw – Washing machine motor

Video clip of Simpson Encore 555 washing machine motor running on the bench. Looks to be turning like a single phase 4 pole motor…1400rpm…ideal RPM for a bandsaw.

Tomorrow morning I’ll work out a motor mount setup so I can drive the saw with a Vee belt…more to come.
