Yeah its sort of weird to bring this up when I am so close to first chips on the Master Mill. But someone mentioned them on "Paul's Garage" and I figured it would be a good time to look it over.
Now that the motor I bought for my sand processor has made my lathe happy I need to find another motor. Dug out the pool pump I stashed. Its 115V 3450. Have to pull the pump and other plastic off it to see if its an enclosed motor. I doubt an open frame motor would last long in this application. If its enclosed I will think about speed reduction or keep looking.
I was keeping this pump for pond use. They are not especially efficient pumps energy wise. The idea was to use it as a booster pump to increase the flow over a water fall when desired. Aka viewing and impressing friends and neighbors. To that end I will be trying to use it without unreversible modifications and store the pump parts for later use.
