I need to replace a three-phase motor on a Delta 20" drill press with
a single-phase motor. The appropriate Delta part appears to be an
82-040, here:
http://www.deltawoodworking.com/index.asp?e=139&p=2209
Specs are: 1-1/2 HP, TEFC, Heavy Duty, 60 Lbs, 1725 RPM, 115/230V,
20/10 A, 60Hz, 7/8" single shaft, NEMA 145T frame
I found prices on this around $400.
McMaster-Carr, which isn't generally known for being inexpensive, has
a motor, part 5990K82, for $203.
It says it's a 1-1/2 HP, TEFC, Service factor 1, 1740 RPM, 115/230V,
7/8" single shaft, NEMA 145T frame.
I want a decent motor, but why pay twice as much if you don't have to?
Is the Delta more expensive just because it's got a Delta nameplate? I
know Delta don't actually manufacture their own motors...
Any reason not to buy the cheaper one? Any other places I should look?
(unless someone here has one to sell, I'd prefer a new motor from a
reputable dealer who can deliver from stock)
Thanks,
Heath

The cheaper motor should work just fine as long as it is the same frame
type. Also check Grainger for pricing.

I'd imagine this might be more than you want? Runs at 3450 rpm and only
230V.

As far as I remember it was $150 'ish. The spa dealer was over $450,
the local tool guy and internet spa dealers were in the low to mid
2's.

Barry, just out of curiosity, what did you have to pay. I'm looking for a
3hp 220v 1ph 1725 right now.
Thanks,

Northern Tool, www.northerntool.com has pretty reasonable prices on Leeson
motors.

Check your local Yellow Pages under "Motor". There are local shops
that specialize in electric motors everywhere.
I recently needed a 220V 3HP spa motor and was able to get a genuine
Baldor for much less than any tool or spa dealer was asking for
no-name stuff. In fact the motor shop was 1/3 of the spa dealers
price. Not 1/3 off, but 1/3 of the PRICE! He also gave me a core
refund for the old motor.
The motor guy did need 2 days to get the motor from his distributor,
and he didn't take credit cards. He was pretty shocked at what the
spa place was charging for a motor, noting that he makes a fair profit
on his price. The spa place is a large factory direct outfit who
happens to be right up the street from the motor shop and buys these
motors by the pallet.

Absolutely not. In fact, with the exception of a
proprietary motor (like say for a Unisaw (1)) there's no
reason at all to continue buying motors from Delta.
(1) Actually, a new Unisaw motor can be gotten from Plaza
Machinery for $250-$300 so there's no reason to even buy
that from Delta.

Plaza Machinery

Electric Motor Warehouse

I agree but I've bought a thing or two off eBay and got a
pretty good deal. Usually in this case it's best to find a
local seller so you can check out his/her wares before
paying.
