Many thanks for the replies. Just me researching the equation for torque led me in the right direction. I did find a Lesson 7.5 horse, 850 rpm motor that I think I can purchase for $1400. This is generally beyond my lowly lumberyard workers intelligence limits, so I will likely be back with...
My apologies, I was going off some other information I got. I'm assuming that this equation is valid for this so let me know if I'm off base.
HP = (Torque x rpm) / 5250
4.8 = (T x 900) /5250
T = 28.
So currently, based off of that I'm currently at 28 lb-ft, and would like to achieve 40~.
My company produces some lumber products that require us to drill 1 1/2" deep holes 5' deep. Currently we do it by using hand held drills, which is our bottleneck. We looked at using a Milwaukee Core motor(4096), which is extremely close to what we are looking for but lacks the torque(162...
