You're probably right about the capacitors, although I can't feel anything resembling a cover plate or a bolt hole on the surface of the motor. The shaper is tied/bolted to my cabinet saw by its...

Just an update. I replaced the capacitors (just in case) and hardwired everything up according to the schematic above (no reversing switch), but got the same result: motor starts and runs perfectly...

Thank you so much for your reply and for posting this literature, it's exactly what I've been searching for. Interestingly, my motor doesn't appear to have any remnant of a piggybacked capacitor (no...

I do, and they're my next call. Just thought I'd check here to see if someone had a definitive answer before taking the motor out of the machine.

Thanks Ron. Yeah, the reasoning makes sense. And since the caps that are currently installed had worked for years, and still work in reverse, I'm comfortable moving forward with that value for now. ...

Thanks so much for your reply Dan. The motor is a Dayton 6k632. The Wiring diagram had T1 going to L1, T4 and T5 going to L2, and T3, T4, and T8 tied together. Any info I can find on the motor...

My Delta shaper had an issue where it would start and run in reverse, but would ‘freeze’ when trying to run forward. After several failed remedies, I am now attempting to forego the reversing switch,...

Thanks so much for the help. I had read that 3/4 of full speed figure as well but wasn't sure if that directly translated to a percentage of voltage. I'm going to go ahead and order a potential...

That's a great setup. After reading up a bit, it seems that potential relays are pretty common for this application. Whether it be timed or potential, I suppose getting the relay specs right for my...

Thanks so much for the reply, Charlie. Makes a lot of sense.

I'm attempting to add a remote controlled magnetic start switch (PSI Long Ranger Heavy Duty Pro Remote Starter Switch) to my rotary phase converter and have hit a snag regarding how to engage the...

Sounds like a great deal. I recently purchased the predecessor to that machine (FS35) used for $1000. The previous owner said it needed bearings. Turns out, the shaft had been worn beneath one of...

Thanks Bruce. Just checked out that FWW article and like the idea. Was the 10 second delayed shut off your mod? May I ask how you implemented the timer?

Thanks for the responses guys. Sounds like there's not a lot of love for the switched blast gates. I had been happy with the Long Ranger system up until now and may just keep it. Just need to make...

I'm installing a new cyclone dust collection system at my shop which came with an auto blast gate system (motor turns on when blast gate opens). I used a "long ranger" remote for my old system,...

That seems like exactly what I'm looking for, thanks so much. I've been looking for something similar for my old Delta HD shaper since there are so many openings in the cabinet. The silicone boot...

I have an '80s 3HP Rockwell router that I use upside down in one of those cast iron wings off my shaper. Although I have dust collection from the fence above the table, a ton of dust seems to make...

I have virtually the same setup you're going for. Not sure if you're willing, but I accomplished it by rotating the shaper 180 degrees and replacing the shaper extension wing that is currently...
