Yes, it can be done. A Vfd would probably be cheaper than cobbling together a "soft start". That being said, you are probably going to have to rework the start/ stop and whatever interlocks you have....

No problem, sorry I couldn't be more helpful. I'd ring out the motor to make sure there aren't any obvious phase to phase or phase to ground shorts. I'd guess it was taken apart for a reason. The...
Do you have room for two capacitors? I would think you do.
Capacitor sizing is somewhat of a mystery to me. There is some math that will get you close. Luckily it's a Baldor, their technical service...
Joseph,
You had me confused. I read 6" s&d as 6" x 6" slip and drive. Lol! What's the odds of the 6"?
At work, blowers are usually connected to the duct with a "canvas connection". This is...
The only good snips left are Midwest. The rest are garbage. I've never had double cut hand snips. I've only ever used powered. My favorites are Midwest offsets, hardened. We call them exotic metal...
We call them "double cuts"
Bruce got it. A regular mower shop should be able to make what you need. The place I use to go to didn't sell pre cut length. Just another option.
Something like this? The voltage shouldn't matter.

Normally residential HVAC controls use a 3 amp fuse. I don't think I've ever seen a circuit breaker. The problem with a breaker is that it's not always reliable in low current ranges, or high for...
Modulus of Elasticity is somethings ability to bend without permanent deformation. Hence "elastic "
Kiln Dried Douglass Fir is roughly 1,700,000 psi
Kiln Dried Eastern Hemlock is roughly...
I've used steel 2x4 track as a ledger in the past. It works well, easily attached, attached to, and is straight (smack nail it to the block wall). I'd use 2x6s and notch the ends. Also, I'd strap the...
I also calculated 9778.125 feet. Two corners are 90 degrees or they would be marked as such.
Sorry Dave I didn't see your question.
I've never used Startron
At home I use about 4 gallons of gas and 2 gallons of 50:1 a year. When I buy gas I put Staybil in it. I also keep it in a Type II...
Frank,
Do they split Y up and share common? It seems more complicated than necessary. What brands or models did you run into this? I'm just curious.
Do you have a single line or a model number? I'm curious as to how or why they split y up.
I just put in a 2 stage Goodman heater for my parents. It uses a single stage stat. The second stage is...
I've never seen one like that. How is the air handler wired?
I would take the air cleaner out, spray in a shot of carb cleaner, then start it. Once running give it another quick shot. If it starts to die, give it another shot. If you can keep it running on...
Frank has it right. I just wanted to add that Rc and Rh are jumped together unless you have two different systems controled by the same thermostat. Example: A hot water boiler for heating and a...
Unless you change the 4" pickups to 6" I doubt it matters. If your blower can pull -16" and move 2300 CFM (or 20% less) you should have no problem pulling the CFMs required by the manufacturer of the...
"Reading a little more around, it doesn't seem to make sense for a single tool user to drop to 4" for the drops as with this blowers CFM that would be the limiting factor."
I'm not sure I...
I would avoid flex in the main all together. Too much friction. Is there a reason you feel you need it? How much set do you need?
Yes, you are correct about the lateral.
CFMs and Pressure...
I'm sure others will add in. I didn't do any numbers, but I'll point a few things out.
I'd stay away from any flex in the main. It is loaded with friction and noise. Use two 45* elbows. If you...
McMaster has them. 1/2 and 5/8 ID aren't odd sizes.

As to Larry's advice, the CFMs aren't relevant to moving sawdust. You need velocity. This is where the engineering data for the fan is used. You need to know how many CFMs the separator and fan are...
I have never put angle rings on snap lock duct. We use this connection on paper trim and abrasive dust collection systems where any laps on the inside of the duct would cause blockages or accelerated...
