Chris, electric motors are classified by how you mount them. Foot mount is a flat plate welded to the frame with 4 bolt holes and it is paralel to the shaft and flange mount is a plate on the shaft end of the motor at 90 deg to the shaft.
hope that helps,

I have a 1HP one that has been gathering dust. I just fired it up and it goes well. The shaft is 5/8 rather than half inch. If you send me your email address via private message I can send you photos ( I can't handle photos via private messages). I'm in postcode 2607, and it weighs 9.3kg without packaging.
