Anyone seen the word "Duspruf"?
Hi all,
So im cleaning up a Gilbro table saw/planer combination that was gifted to me.
Part of this process is the clean the motor and pulleys as they were rusted and corroded.
I notice one end of the motor has cast into the alloy fan cover the word "DUSPRUF"
Now i got a fair idea it means the motor is dust proof which would be a nice design feature for a motor running wood working gear. Question is since its a Cadet motor made in Aus why spell it like that?
Google search produced next to nothing.
Cheers

Simon,
I found this reference in a post by Rod Gilbert Tough Drill Press Morticer [Archive] - Woodwork Forums (6th Nov 2012, 10:44 PM). He states (in part) "It has a GMF duspruf 415v 3 phase motor 1425 RPM."
Rod is an active member of the Woodwork Forums'
Cheers,

Perhaps the designer borrowed the term from here: Lot #387 - Calumet Chief Duspruf Coal Porcelain Sign - Manifest Auctions
