Repurpose old motors

[TnClimber]

I have an old 10" table top saw and small table top 1" belt sander. Both are broken and no parts available. Any ideas what to do with the motors?

list them on a classified site for parts
what kind of table top saw ?

I would store them cause I would most definitely need them in the future. I think I have about 20 motors and twice as many reduction drives from various machines. Haven't needed them in 10 years, probably won't need any in the future 10 years, but parting with them is certainly out of the question.

Maybe a buffer with the saw motor.

How about a grinder? Look here for some ideas.

Belt driven arbor/bench grinder

Looking to find a belt driven arbor for a bench grinder. I have a bunch of old motors from 1/4hp to 5hp. Would be nice to hook up the 5hp ones for when I really need to get the grind on. All I see are old vintage ones, do they make these anymore? I found some new arbors without any shielding...
