Alright guys I posted this one earlier but I am still trying to formulate a game plan.

Motor
In a perfect world I'd have the moolah for a big ol 220 electric motor and a VFD, realistically I probably need to work with standard electric single phase. It's a C-face w/ lovejoy coupling (thanks Salem
) You guys think a single phase 1 hp would do any damage to metal?
Platen
My idea for the platen is to fab up or purchase one that would bolt into the four tapped holes in the top left and extend out past the front of the metal plate.
So what do you think will 1 hp single phase capacitor start motor be a let down?
Any other ideas for how to work the platen?
Unbolt the wheels and tracking and try to build a new frankengrinder with the parts?
Stacy's idea was to lay the whole shebang on it's side with the motor below the table for a horizontal sander - for example.
