What size electric motor is that? 220volt?

I have been looking around and just have not found one yet (free).

Where do you get your supplies? I've browsed Eastwood but they are high and was just wondering if that is the best place to order from?

I had a real buffer that had long shafts but it was just a 1/4HP one and i burnt it up. Then came the 110 Baldor motor it was the man! But it died after sitting in 2 feet of water for 6-7 days.Baldor makes the best Period! now i have just a cheapo china made buffer that is junk. I should have known better but i am in no shape to use it anyway. But would have been good to teach my son with if it was worth anything. It slows down when you use it. The baldor would crank out the power and if not careful rip stuff out ya hands lol.
I get all my Compounds from a friend who owns a industrial chrome plating shop. I bought about 400 bucks in sand paper rolls for 200 way back when on a close out deal. Paint stores that sell auto paint have sand paper in stickey rolls and boxes of precut for inline sanders as well as DA paper! do not buy cheap sand paper Marida{sp?} or 3-M
