item #2 from eastwood $350~: http://www.eastwoodco.com/shopping/p...iProductID=853
my question is, that item #1 and #2 both run 1/3 hp. item #2 looks like is is made for wheels, but item #1 can be fitted with a 1/4" shank, which can be used on an adapter for a wheel.
with that being said, motor on item #1 looks the smallest, even though it's the same hp, and also turns high rpms. would item #1 be able to turn a 6" wheel without straining it alot? |
i would not use item #1 to run a 6 inch wheel , the motor will probably have a hard time with the 6 inch wheel , and i would think that the small diameter of the shaft woud not handle the torque needed towork with a 6 inch wheel
