Cool! I have good electric motors All over the place and brother is a welder.
What kind of kits without motors are available?
BTW I also have this Dayton thing and the 1HP motor it came with... I picked it up initially thinking I could use it to Power a tumbler

A 1 hp motor will drive a lot. My 24" slab saw runs just fine with a 1 hp and my 8" diamond cabbing unit gets by with no problem with a direct drive 3/4 horse. The key is to match the rpm's with the wheels/blade to get the proper working speed to the rock. No need to guess or re-invent anything, the info is out there if you look. Good to have the pieces on hand.
Good luck with it...
Bill

Well rats!
I thought I had posted on this topic last night only to find out this morning that I did not...(

I sent the wrong pix too big of a file)
I asked about the range of motorless kits that are available. I have several good electric motors.
Then that reminded me that I have this Dayton reducer (1750RPM to 36RPM) that I have with a a one HP motor attached. The motor can be wired a number of different ways (at least according to the wiring diagram on its plate. What can I use these for ?
