On another thread I've shown pictures of a rebuild of a Parks Planer. I've got a question for some of you electricians.
The motor is huge compared to anything I've used. Pretty sure it's the original. There's no place where a horse power rating is marked. What is marked, in very faded numbers, is "10.6/5.3" and "115/230." I take this to mean the amps and voltage. That's pretty close to the 3/4 hp. motor on my bandsaw but it seems unlikely that this motor is that small.
Anybody have a guess as to the power of the motor?
