toolingjim:

I found the motor you mentioned at the Surplus Center website. It even includes the rectifier and has an 8' power cord(!) The motor draws 8.15A at speed and has a 5/16" diameter shaft, though the latter only protrudes 1&3/8" from the face.

The challenge here would be to find or turn a collar that extends the shaft say, 2", and which would then have the flat steel scrap welded to the bottom to facilitate attaching a blade. Very accessible/doable...Hmmm....

BTW, do you know Daox and The Milwaukee Electric Car Club crowd? I've been reading many of their posts and viewing their videos. I'd love to stop by on a build day and pitch in, but I often work on Saturdays...
