So I have been looking around for a motor for my grinder build. Not in any hurry just want to find a good motor at a good price. One will pop up eventually. I am looking for a 1.5 hp, 1700 rpm, TEFC, 3 phase motor. I happened to run across a Baldor motor that I can get for $100 that meets all the specs, the only catch is it has 4,500 hrs on it. That is to many correct? Probably on the end of its life? Don't really know how long one should last but at $100 even if it doesn't last long it might be worth it. I know Baldor makes some great motors. Sorry for the dumb question don't know a ton about motors.
