Johnnie C. Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I found this 3/4 horse motor with 12in disc for $10 at a yardsale. This is a homemade job. I rewired the motor, made a base and a platform, then if put it work. It works great and I couldn't be happier with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verga Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I will give you the original $10 plus 5 more for your trouble for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammered Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Great find! I can't wait for yard sale season to start up here again (right now it's a bit too cold and snowy for them). It's true what they say about one mans trash being another mans treasure!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nthe10ring Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Good score there. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike-hr Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Nice! I have one of those, it's probably the most used power tool in the shop. Consider buying some top quality Verzon-plus discs, they pay for themselves in longevity real fast. I use 40 grit discs on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
