Grizzly H5388 Motor 3 HP Single-Phase 3450 RPM TEFC 220V.

Grizzly H5388 Motor 3 HP Single-Phase 3450 RPM TEFC 220V.
  • Base: 5.00" x 4.88"
  • Key: 5mm
  • Shaft Diameter: 7/8"
  • Type: TEFC
  • Volts: 220V

I purchased this motor one month ago. I replaced a 1 1/2 HP motor that was on my Delta contractor saw. This motor only weighed about 7 or 8 pounds more than the original motor. It is 16 amps at 220 volts. It was almost a perfect fit on the motor mount. I was able to change out the motors in about 45 minutes. I had to also order a new pulley for the 7/8" arbor. The difference between the 1 1/2 Hp motor and this 3 HP motor is unbelievable. I don't detect any more vibration than before. I can now cut any type of wood. It now cuts plywood like butter and 2" hardwood just as easy. I have nothing but praise for this motor so far. It was hundreds of dollars cheaper than anything else I could find. The motor comes up to speed instantly as well.
