I have two Kubotas that acted like that. The service tech put a relay between the battery and the starter solinoid To provide full power. Solved the...

I think this is the case, it is not tracking at a perfect 90 degrees, only ends up there, and when I check it with a longer combination square, it...

Guys, guess what come in mail today? Yep you guess it, my saw has arrived and with a blade which I thought I had read that blade was not included but...

If starter works when you "tap it", sounds like a stuck brush set to me. Just my two cents worth and worth exactly what you paid for it.

Still very confused. Place one side of a framing square along the left fence on one side; and use the other side of the framing square against the...

Agree. The motor that caught fire was a US-made Baldor 5hp 22fla, and I was starting it up to 8 times an hour before I was schooled.

My woodmaster drum sander just uses a dc motor for the feed and a simple reversing switch. No three phase on it.

I've seen machines that run in forward and reverse. If I'm not mistaken, Woodmaster has a drum sander that will run forward and then you can push a...

Checking the alignment as in the photo only shows where the blade ends up after the cut has been made. Unfortunately, it would seem that the blade...

If there is still dirt in the starter that would indicate it wasn't properly cleaned out when it was rebuilt. I am assuming the voltage drop is the...

There are a lot of things that could cause a situation like this. My first check would be the brushes. A piece of loose dirt could lift them off...

This plane is sold pending payment.

Richard, I will tag onto Mr. Strong’s statement about making your own screw chuck, and Mr. Walser’s thoughts on smaller pieces. Before you spend...

Seems I touched a nerve, which was not my intention. OP stated that they had been away for about 10 years, and it was unclear if they understood...

A quick few.

They hold extremely well, even with unbalanced blanks and large blanks, even when cutting aggressively. They do hold on end grain but I don’t know...

+1. And the bigger the motor, the slower the heat dissipates. We run a lot of 400Hp motors and programmatically limit them to 3 starts/hr; 150Hp ::...

No efficiency gains; resistance is resistance in either direction. Switching at the wall is easiest for 1 motor, but many industrial motor arrays...

Thomas- Thanks for the thoughts, that is about how I how I set it up :(. I've got a precise straight edge to get the fence correct and then used my...

The reason there's a recommendation on the number of starts of a motor is that there's a high starting current through the motor. This generates...

The sides are probably bowed. While Derek's approach is better, I would not hesitate to throw a few number 8 wood screws and into the center of the...

Bump for the weekend crowd. Will consider offers.

Okay, here is some more info. I bought this saw used from friend of mine (who painted it a puke green!) , who I bet only used it for rough cuts...

I have that exact saw and liked it so much, I had it re-built. This is what I do to align it from scratch. 1. Start with a new blade, and...

I think it's so all ther motors that might get plugged onto the same outlet run the same direction. '

saturday morning...went back down to see what I missed....town was PACKED with people...to the point you almost HAD to park somewhere and continue on...
