Motor Options:

No Motor: You have the option to source your own motor or use a motor you already have.

Note:Please note that Brodbeck Ironworks will not be responsible for providing customer service or warranty support for motors and VFD purchased from another vendor.

Single Speed 1.5 HP: Works with 110V single phase (household voltage), with On / Off Switch.

Note:Please note a single speed motor limits the attachments the grinder can support to the Mareko Flat Platen, Small Wheel Attachment, and Large Contact Wheels.

Variable Speed 1HP: Works with 110V or 220V single phase voltage. The variable speed control KBAC 24 VFD, includes wiring kit and start/stop switch.

Note:Please note the Waterfall Platen cannot be used with a 1 HP variable speed motor.

Variable Speed 2HP: Works with 110V / 115V or 220V / 230V single phase voltage. The variable speed control KBAC 27D includes the wiring kit and start/stop switch. The motor is a 2HP 230/460V 3-Phase 60 HZ 6.2/2.9A 3600 RPM TEFC.

Notes:The variable speed control also serves as a phase converter needed to operate the 2HP 3 phase motor included in the package. YOU DO NOT NEED 3 PHASE VOLTAGE IN YOUR SHOP.

Powering the unit with 110V / 115V reduces motor output from 2HP to 1.5HP

Variable Speed 3HP: Works with 220V single phase only. The variable speed control KBAC 29 includes wiring kit and start/stop switch.

VFD and/or Motor will arrive separately and will be pre-wired and only need to be mounted. (1HP and 2HP VFD motor options will be wired to 110V unless otherwise requested.

Changing the input voltage from 110V to 220V is simple. Move the J1 jumper inside the variable speed control from the 115V position to the 230V position (this is how the ports are labeled) and provide your own 220 plug that matches your outlet.
