I have an old sewing machine motor, that I have kept around for years. I have idea where or when I got it. It is a Kenmore model 117618, 8 amps, 65 watts, of coarse 110 volts. I do not knowhow to figure the power. Came for a Sears and Roebuck sewing machine I think. Would a motor like this be any good for power carving. I have the variable speed foot pedal also. It runs great, Have no idea of the horse power. I realize if the brushes (if it has them goes bad, I could not replace them, the things I though the brushes were in turns out to be wicks, for oiling, I thing. Anyway, worth messing with? as a carver. I figure it would cost about $50 to get what I would need to hook a flex shaft hooked up to it.
