Can i swap the motor on my thicknesser?
G'day all
I posted this in the general machinery page, figure ill see if any folks here may be able to assist also
I have a 13 inch carbatec planer moulder which I bought new. It hasn't seen much use for a number of years due to the noise and the fact I live in a town house. I was looking at replacing it with one of the 15 inch carbatec machines. While looking around online I saw there is a grizzly 13 inch planer moulder that looks very similar to mine and it is mounted on a stand with a standard motor fitted. Has anyone had any experience with modifying their benchtop thicknesser to this configuration? Im assuming it will quieten the machine a lot when not under load? Given that the machine is in really good condition would this be worth looking at if it is at all possible? Or would I be better off saving my money and buying a new one.

Thanks for any advice
