If you'd like to know more about using an ac drive let me know and I'll tell you all I can. They're pretty cheap these days, especially those that are obsolete. Hope this helps. Later on!

I'm not an equipment wonk...not sure what a 3hp drive even is, but I will as soon as I get over to Google. If you feel like writing you can fill me in here, and thanks.
Right now I'm starting to build my dream belt sander (poor-man style), but better buffing equipment is the next project.
