Hi all, I'm hoping someone can tell me if the stock, 1.5hp non-DVR motor on the Nova 1624 has a motor data plate with specs. From the conversion threads I know a 145TC frame will work but I'm trying to find a motor with a 22mm shaft so I can avoid the boring out the motor pulley business.
Thanks!

A standard NEMA 145 frame is listed as having a 7/8" diameter out put shaft and 7/8" = .875" X 25.4mm = 22.225 mm so it is questionable that it is in fact a 145TC frame motor.

Yeah the 145TC came from conversion threads but you are absolutely right in that the shaft size is bigger than 22mm.
I did a bunch of sleuthing today and discovered that it's a metric frame B14 80
