Good thing you got the warning letter before they fined you. The problem with dumping into the the sewer system is a big rain will overflow the...

The guy hanging from the ceiling is really being pushed around. Bill D

Sounds like maybe the motor comes off easy enough and you do not have to realign the drum. While it is off you may want to install a male/female...

That saw looks like it would take some thought to rig for a vertical lift. I suppose it would be lifted from the bottom and tied so it would not...

Are you saying the power to that box comes off the buss bar not a breaker? I would leave it covered and disconnected. No need to buy an expensive...

Square D QO breakers came out in 1955, still being made. Match up a picture of one. Homeline breakers are not the same but the main lug breaker...

Looks like a standard Lovejoy coupling. I think there are two common ways to replace the spider. Remove the entire motor or gear box or, unbolt one...

I have read here that some of the European bandsaws state, in the manual, that those holes are not for lifting. They are designed only as tie down...

I guess some are for lifting then. Just make sure the factory approves before assuming things that might fail under load. Bill D

Pancake drill picture. takes threaded drills. I have seen small threaded chucks to fit. This photo appears to show a chuck as well as the pancake...

Pancake AKA Porkchop drill adapter. No need for the full pancake pneumatic drill. You will have to buy some threaded drills to math. I assume...

In the San Francisco are when a home is sold they pump smoke into the sanitary sewer. Any leaks out of the ground or downspouts connected must be...

I believe on most European bandsaws those holes on top of the arm are for shipping tie downs. They are not rated for lifting. Also used so it does...

It has the grinder bar but no grinder. I have a lathe tool post grinder I hope to fit. The trailer will be a uhaul 5x8 utility. I will drop a...

Is it possible to redesign the handle so it clamps around the stick with no holes? Motorcycle handlebar clamp stuff is one inch diameter. I am...

EMT is not strong enough for the job. You are lucky it did not crush flat. Thick wall pvc is probbaly stronger then thinwall emt. Bill D

Does modern code require a GFCI on a garage freezer or is that exempt? Is the washer still GFCI exempt? Bill D

I see some confusion here. MC and MFC are two very different things. MC is metal clad cable with preinstalled wires. You can not add or remove the...

If this is a portable ac/dc motor I doubt it can be wired for a different voltage. It could be rewound by a motor shop for under $500 or so. Bill D

It looks like the contactor and overloads are inside that box. If the vfd will fit that is a nice box. maybe make a sheet metal extension so it...

For my lathe the VFD fan runs all the time so... I used the original contactor to supply power to the vfd. That way when the lathe is done no more...

You may need to pull a vacuum on the epoxy before pouring to get the bubbles out. Probably a good idea to throw the pour into a pressure chamber to...

1/2" steel plate. I bet that was not lifted off very much. bill D

An o-ring is easier to source. Neither is accurate with no drawbar and a rigid stop to pull into. Search for the term "presetter". I suppose an...

Unclear if the 10.4 amps is the vfd or the motor?

I doubt you need braking, much less a resistor. Coast down is probably fast enough. I feel safe in removing wood while the cutter is spinning on a...

Warren what is the flat sheet on that rig? Aluminum die plate would be my guess. Bill D.

Seems like a flange mount cylinder would be easy to mount. Or they make flanges that can be attached to a tie rod cylinder. Bill D
