I found 4 of the following Baldor motors for $75 (total, not each). I'll have difficulty using one on my grinder with a VFD (the shaft size and bolt configuration is different, not to mention that 5hp is a bit of overkill), but I'm wondering if there is anything else in my shop I could use them for. I don't have 3 phase power, but I could run them with a VFD in theory. I'm interested to hear ideas.
