My Leeson three phase 7.5 Hp motor has instructions to wire it to run on high or low voltage. It also says to interchange some leads to reverse rotation. Not to just reverse any two input wires. ...

A three phase dust collector should be able to be used as an extra idler motor for a converter setup. I know a big disk sander works that way. I am unsure if the load on a dust collector allows it...

Powdered walnut shells are used to add grip to floor paint. Coarser grind is used to "sandblast" fine details without blasting them off.

Most high temperature antisieze has copper or nickel so it is electrically conductive. Not sure about the Oxygen sensor safe stuff.

Starter $400, what engine?

X17 looks enough for you. I found Lowes 5 gallon paint buckets work better with an airless. Big cap unscrews big enough opening to use a small mixer paddle and to drop the intake hose in, no...

Further reading of the manual says parameter #6 options are "stop by itself" or "deceleration". I assume "stop by itself" is coast down with no braking. That avoids having to worry about...

I have learned that I was tightening pipe fittings too hard. For 3/4NPT and below a 18" wrench is plenty with maybe 30-40 pound of pull. I had been over tightening by almost one full turn. Hand...

I bought a Powermatic 18" planer with a three phase motor. I would like to know how long it should take to go from a dead stop until it is at full speed and also how long to coast down to a stop. I...

Do not forget the ground terminal, both ends. I carries just as much power as the hot lead.

I bet the flexsteel guy would pay to come fix it on live tv with a can of hi spray rubber. Of course there is a slim chance it wouldn't work.

I see used panel saws on C-list all the time for 500-1200. That seems like a decent price to consider compared to a dedicate track saw. How accurate are they?
Bill D

Went pretty well. Now I have to figure out if the gears are all working. The adjustable bed rollers do not lift. Seem to be stuck. The stuff under the table moves and seems to be free Maybe a...

Found in 2018 in the Black Sea this shipwreck is about 2,400 years old. The deep water is so cold with low oxygen that wood and stuff is not rotted. They can see wood joining methods only known...

In California they work the other way. You turn on the swamp cooler for summer and shut it down for winter.

I have learned to microwave the meat until it is close to cooked all the way through then grill it for flavor.
My easy favorite is diced green peppers with onion microwaved until they are a little...

I was thinking wrong. there is no such thing as a slip fit bearing. It is the shaft undersize that makes it a slip fit. Did you write down the number before returning?
Bill D

Any ballbearing that is inch size will cost extra, but they reamed you. You can not drill the races. Grinding only. You could try a abrasive rotary expanding hone. I tried that on one cutter for...

Neighbor across the street built a two car garage. He priced the lumber, shingles etc about three years ago as prices started to rise. He contracted out the concrete and rough in wiring to a panel....

That kind of outfit shipping can be a killer. So try to find a brand close to your build site.

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 sewer treatment plant and flood untreated sewage...

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 cord end between the motor and the switch gear.

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 flip upside down.
