The only issue is it's 5" wide. That's not very wide.

I honestly dont think they fontaine made a five inche grinder. Thats a six inch. Pretty big difference. Ask the seller to measure that for real.

I have the same machine but mine has 2 grinders, and MM it is a 5 in wide machine but Im able to run 5.5in belts on mine. Thats a good deal on that, not as good a deal as I got for 200$.

Does anyone know what type of power these Fontaine machines require? Single phase vs. 3 phase?

Looks like the original Baldor motor. If it is then its single phase. You can wire the motor for either 220 and 110. The wiring diagram is on the spec plate.
