Me either, too much torque rotation for those straps to make me comfortable. :( Chris, Do you have some 2" angle iron, and a 10" X 10" piece of flat plate, and a welder? If so, I can send you a picture of a bracket I made for a C face motor mount. ;) Mike

+1 on some more details. Those really look great 2thumbs Mike

Sean, Two questions: 1) Is the motor totally enclosed? Look on the data plate for enclosure type(ENCL), it should have TEFC on the data plate if your going to use it for grinding. 2) What is the Voltage of the motor? Again check the data plate for VOLTS. Most 3 Phase motors are dual...
