Hi Brady,

Wow! very comprehensive! Many thanks!

Everything you mentioned looks to be about what I have discovered so far, and I agree about the zones..

I actually bought this ShopBot PRT 5x12 from a guy who also gave me a 15hp FPZ, but the problem is what you mentioned.. it's 3phase and I only got me some 220v.

Right now I'm looking at my options... The specs for this FPZ blower show that it will actually work with anything between 7.5hp and 20hp so I might look into just swapping out the electric motor and getting my machinist guy to make some kind of adapter plate ( if necessary )

The lighthouse motors is an option that I've considered also.

The Fein that I tested with here is just because it was sitting here this morning and I wanted to try it out. About how long do you think they last?


Thanks for the math tutorial, that was really helpful.

I'll update as things progress.
