Wiring a dryer motor

from my experience with washer/dryer motors. they are too low powered and easy to bog down. you need at least a 1/2 hp motor to make it worthwhile. find someone who puts in furnaces or ac units in houses and see if they have any old belt drive blower motors.

I agree. The motor on a dryer is geared by the drive belt to turn a large drum slow. It won't work well for running anything fast or deliver much power.
