Sealed ball bearings are lubricated for life, protecting against dust and debris, while the dynamically balanced rotor and shaft deliver vibration-free, remarkably quiet operation. Made in the USA and backed by a full 3-year warranty, this motor is engineered for high-performance, heavy-duty polishing work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 380T features taper fit shafts — a system where special taper fit spindles slide onto the shafts and are secured by friction with a firm tap at the spindle end. Removal is straightforward: rotating the spindle-removing rings causes the screw-fit rings to push the friction-fit spindles off the shaft. \u003cstrong\u003eTaper fit spindles are sold separately.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 3-way toggle switch provides three operating positions: high, off, and low — with off as the center setting for safe, intuitive control during polishing sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-speed operation at 3450 RPM (high) and 1725 RPM (low)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSealed ball bearings lubricated for life — resistant to dust and debris\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamically balanced rotor and shaft for vibration-free, quiet operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaper fit shaft system with friction-fit spindle attachment and ring-based removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-way toggle switch: high \/ off \/ low (off is center position)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA with a full 3-year warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty construction designed for continuous professional use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBaldor 380T\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHorsepower\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\/3 HP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpeeds\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2-speed (3450 RPM high \/ 1725 RPM low)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVoltage \/ Frequency\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e115V \/ 60Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAmperage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 amps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOverall Length (tip to tip)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14-1\/4\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShaft Height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5-1\/4\" (measured from center of shafts)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShaft Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTaper fit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSwitch Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3-way toggle (high \/ off \/ low)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWarranty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNotes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaper fit spindles are \u003cstrong\u003enot included\u003c\/strong\u003e and must be purchased separately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe off position is the \u003cem\u003ecenter\u003c\/em\u003e setting on the 3-way toggle switch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Baldor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43580217000150,"sku":"147.120","price":955.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9832\/0342\/files\/baldor-380t-13-hp-2-speed-polishing-motor-otto-frei.jpg?v=1719958186","url":"https:\/\/www.ottofrei.com\/it\/products\/baldor-380t-polishing-motor-1-3hp-2-speed-taper-fit","provider":"Otto Frei","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
