Motors with VFD (Variable Speed)

High-performance, variable speed motors with VFD control—perfect for powering your 2×72 belt grinder setup.

Power your belt grinder setup with one of our TechTop TEFC (Totally Enclosed Fan-Cooled) 3,600 RPM 56C face mount electric motors, available in 1hp, 1.5hp, and 2hp options. These motors provide robust, reliable power for your grinding tasks, from general metalworking to heavy-duty material removal.

Motor Options:

1hp Motor (120V):

Ideal for lighter grinding tasks, this motor offers plenty of power for general metalworking, sharpening, and hobbyist knifemaking. With a 120V plug and an 8ft 14-gauge rubber power cord, it’s a great entry-level motor for those looking to get into grinding without overkill. Paired with a VFD, you’ll have smooth variable speed control, making it easier to adjust speeds for finer tasks like polishing or light grinding.

1.5hp Motor (120V):

The perfect middle ground for those looking to balance power and versatility. This motor provides more torque than the 1hp option, making it suitable for medium-duty tasks such as rough grinding and knifemaking, while still maintaining the flexibility to handle more detailed work. Wired with a 120V plug and 8ft 12-gauge rubber power cord, it’s ideal for those who want a step up in power without moving to a 220V setup.

2hp Motor (220V):

If you’re tackling heavy-duty material removal, professional knifemaking, or larger-scale metalworking projects, this is the motor for you. The 2hp motor delivers maximum power for more aggressive grinding, allowing you to work faster and more efficiently. It’s wired with a 220V plug and includes an 8ft 12-gauge rubber power cord, along with a matching receptacle. Perfect for those who need the extra horsepower to get through tougher materials with ease.
