The motor on the metal lathe failed in a spectacular way earlier. (fire)
This is to get a replacement motor.
Kevin found this one;

Looks to be about $400, with shipping and tax I’m thinking $500 should cover it.
This is a Baldor motor, which should be orders of magnitude better than the original knock off motor.

I vote Yes. + this and the laser fire are exactly why Hive13 needs to hold some funds in reserve to make repairs on equipment.

I believe so.
We need to figure out how to buy it. I don’t really have a buffer to buy it then get repaid. (been off work for 8 months).

I don’t mind helping with that if no one else volunteers.
