Grizzly Lathe Motors

[Jay Cutright]

I have a couple motors that fit the 4003G that I'm gonna sell if someone wants an extra motor.
These two motors both have some vibration issues but they have all the torque and power that they are supposed to have as far as I can tell. (They were checked out before they were sent to me.)
I'm going to 3 phase power.

Jay..did you go to a 3 phase because of thread chatter induced by the single phase motor at low rpm..???

Thats part of it, I hope it works.
I also notice some finish problems around the shoulder & the chamfer during the reaming operation (when the motor vibrates).
I have found ways around these problems but it takes a lot of effort. I bought a lathe to do something I enjoy doing, not to be frustrated by it.
The motors would work well for a 110 volt application like a compressor or something or even as a 220 volt spare to finish a job if you smoke yours in the middle of a job.
If anyones interested in making an offer let me know by PM or E-mail.

I might have a use for your motor. What is the HP and the shaft size?

I was told by Grizzly to keep these motors and they would send me a $50.00 check to use towards what I replaced it with, so I start this thread, then Grizzly calls & they want the motors back. UPS has a couple call tags for tomorrow & I still dont have a check. I guess I dont have the motors to sell now.
