Comments:

purchased at auction from contracting company march 2012. made after Crescent became division of Rockwell. Peerless motor data in pictures might be a lead for dating it. A very large 2 hp 3 phase motor which also serves as the bearings for the lower wheel. No After pictures at this time, but I expect to run it largely as it is, probably driven by the hitachi variable speed drive that I use for my lathe and milling machine. The old Motor runs, got blade up to 50% with VFD but not real happy with tracking, still some tuning to do.
