What is the difference between a 'new surplus' motor and a 'factory new' motor?
Our New Surplus electric motors and drives are new and unused overstock or discontinued items offered at lower prices and come with our 90-day warranty.
Factory New products are competitively priced and come with a manufacturers warranty.
Variable frequency drives (VFDs or inverters) now play an important part in major industry.
Within the last 10 years they have been perfected to control and vary the speed of 3 phase electric motors. They serve many purposes, besides speed control. Homeowners and hobbyist alike, who have lathes or milling machines with a 3 phase motor, usually don't have 3 phase power to operate. These VFDs (instead of using a rotary phase converter) can now be used to convert single phase power to 3 phase power. Read more »

Awesome motor, December 30, 2017 By Justin (Commerce, GA)(Verified)
I bought this motor for a belt grinder. The motor is super powerful, quiet and very well built. I had no trouble setting everything up with the included instructions. I feel like this motor is a tremendous value. Ive been running is for several weeks now and I have yet to even feel the case get warm. I think its overkill for a knife grinder but who ever said "its too much power"!!!! Love this motor and VFD combo. Fast shipping and good folks to deal with at Dealers industrial Thanks, Justin from GA
