There would be no problem getting a 1.5hp or even a 3hp 1750rpm 3ph 208v motor inside that cylinder to maintain the aesthetic. But it would need a custom mount and end with a similar pulley, which could go easily or be a huge time sink.
X axis lead screw has .012" play
Y has .035"
No detectable play in quill when extended and unlocked
No more than .0025" play in spindle, extended
Knee and X both feel really good to me
Y gets tight on the last few inches in, I assume the rest has been worn and gibs adjusted accordingly.
There’s a setscrew in the middle of the top of the table (!) for oil, though I haven’t opened it
Hi, is it a 3 phase motor? Not sure if will fit the bill, but I have one laying around in my storage that I will probably never use. It’s never been used left over from a job.
FYI I’m new here. I’m a licensed Electrical Contractor and Electrician (I don’t re-wind motors though) but if you need my help, let me know.

Thanks!
It would be easier to rewind the motor than to put another motor in the housing
What is the hp rating? Is it 208 or 230v 3phase?
I will take the motor to Hamilton Electric this week to see the prognosis.

I would consider it if Louis Allis was closer
Rewind is first choice, but I can easily machine a custom pulley/mount if you need me to.
Fact. Hopefully it can be salvaged!

I got 2 snow days so I dropped off the motor at Hamilton Electric this morning. Now we wait for a response.
