I don't think I've posted here yet, but have been lurking for quite some time. Very nice community you have here and I have learned a TON from just reading.
I'm still setting up shop and building small things but will try and post some pictures soon.
I recently purchased a used Delta band saw (28-245). It's in awesome shape, but I'd like to replace the 1/2 hp motor (I'd like to add a riser for resawing and a new motor pully per iturra design to speed up rpm's).
I'm looking at 2 motors (can't afford a baldor they are $250+, too expensive for me right now) and was wondering if y'all had any opinion one way or another, or perhaps an alternative I haven't considered.
