Looking for some help identifying a old electric motor from a jointer.
Circa 1970s Delta machine.
All the other equipment and the switch are 3 phase, but I couldn't totally figure out the wiring.

Here's a couple of photos.

Let me know if there is any more info I can provide.

Not a 1970's motor, would be of much earlier vintage, if a jointer was of 1970's vintage, 1973 & earlier would be badged as rockwell manufacturing, 1974 until the power tool division was sold in the eighties, would have a Rockwell International badge, the Delta name would not return until after Rockwell sold their power tool div. .

Thanks! I got it up and running with your help all.

I was guessing on the vintage... I bought the jointer in a auction and havent been able to pin down exactly what year it was made.

Motor sounds great, got the rotation correct, pulled all the nasty old cloth covered wires out from the switch to motor.

I did rewire the switch, its a old school switch box capable of 3ph. Has 3 main legs T1,T2, T3. Is the proper way to wire it for 110v/1ph to just run each wire (hot, neutral, ground) through each leg?
