I am fairly certain that no other appliances were running at the time, but since the problem mysteriously disappeared, I am assuming that it will rear its ugly head eventually.

Thanks!

I checked the wiring and then checked with the volt meter. Perhaps magic but I now do not get any strange voltage readings.

The DC motor is the only motor and gets powered by a rectifier.

The DC motor controller is plugged into a 240 volt outlet. The 58 volt readout was measured with the meter in AC mode. Thanks to everyone who has responded!

Hello,

I purchased an old Oliver lathe a number of years ago, and it came with a DC motor and a controller/converter that lets me adjust the speed. While using it recently, I experienced a slight...

Thanks Lee. The paste wax nicely reduced the friction.

I bought this cabinet saw after my contractor saw's lift gear was beyond repair, and I still have parts from this saw in my basement. The nut that came with the Jet cabinet saw threads smoothly on...

A couple of years ago I purchased a used Jet cabinet saw. It is in very condition and was previously owned by a hobbyist woodworker. I have noticed that the nut turns on the shaft with some...

Hello,
I recently acquired a Jet 3 HP arbor saw that hopefully will last for many years to come. While looking at the back of the saw, I noticed vent openings on the hinged motor cover. Do these...

Thanks Bruce. It was an easy fix done through an unnecessarily complicated route. While on this deep dive I learned a lot about the machine. Having found a few parts that are starting to show signs...

Update:

I removed the top of the saw today and noticed that there was an alignment issue between the arbor and motor pulleys. I thought I could loosen the set screws on the motor fully and give it...

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. The arbor does not bind at the 3" maximum cut but does bind when raised at about 2". Somewhere below 2", the arbor once again rotates easily.

Hello,

I recently purchased a used Jet JTAS10 table saw, and have noticed that the arbor binds up when raised to it higher height range. This happens whether or not the blade is installed. I can...

Hi David. As I have pondered replacing the described contractor saw, I have searched for the part needed to get the saw back in shape. Several years ago, I accidentally bought the wrong cast iron...

Thank you all for your thoughts. I would love to see the whole saw or at least some of the parts go to use rather than end up as scrap metal. There are certainly many more of these in circulation and...

Hello,

I have a Jet contractor style table saw (JWTS-10CW2-LFR, 1.5 HP) that is about twenty years old. I am looking to sell this saw for a very reasonable price because of the wear/damage on the...

Hello,

I rehabbed a Jet 15" planer a few years ago, installed a Shelix cutterhead, and finally made the adjustments to get decent results. I love the machine, but the built-in mobile base is not...

I have had similar problems, and I think the buildup of sawdust and the challenges associated with reaching this area for regular cleaning can ultimately lead to damage to the cast iron gear which is...

I just started using the Resaw King on my Felder bandsaw. I have read on several occasions about Resaw Kings that have failed during use

Hello,
Is anyone out there considering or actively building the curved-leg stool described in a Fine Woodworking article by Pater Galbert? I have been working on gluing up some clear 2 inch pine...

Thanks for the input. The pallet jack would work if I had the space to use and store one. I did find a mobile base sold by Grizzly that would just fit. I have some 4x6 boards from a treehouse project...

Hello,

I have a 600 pound bandsaw in my basement that came with a mobility kit that never worked particularly well. I am in a small space and moving the saw to accommodate the use of other tools...

Hi Rod,

Thanks for your reply. I learned that I installed the fingers backwards. I also learned that the exploded diagram in the manual has them drawn in the incorrect orientation. I know this...

Hi Rod,

Thanks for your reply. I learned that I installed the fingers backwards. I also learned that the exploded diagram in the manual has them drawn in the backwards configuration. Sounds like...
