A couple years ago I replaced my garage door opener and since the motor in
the old one was still functional, I set it aside with the idea of using
it for some future project. I found it again this week while cleaning out
the garage. It's rated at 1/2HP, 1500 RPM. I don't know the motor's rated
duty cycle, however.
I'm open to ideas for potential shop or yard projects using this motor.
Here are a few ideas I've jotted down:
1) Powering an exhaust fan. I already have one and 1/2HP is probably
overkill anyway and the duty cycle might come into play.
2) Makeshift wood lathe. Seems dangerous and I don't have much interest
in wood turning anyway so this is probably a non-starter.
3) Stationary disc or drum sander. Hmm. Could be useful.
Any other ideas?
Jimmie
