Patrick,
I bought an older Delta Rockwell 28-6x0 20 inch variable speed bandsaw in June of this year and transported it 400 miles in my Ford F-150 on its spine. I removed the table, but left the...

393548 Here is what my installation looks like. The VFD is mounted inside the enclosure that I mounted on the wall behind the grinder.

You should be fine with that VFD. I did almost exactly the same thing earlier this year with a Delta/Rockwell 10 inch 3 phase grinder. The instructions with the TECO VFDs are not always clear, but...

I have a 3 hp, 220v, single phase DeWalt 14 inch long arm in my shop, made in the late 50s, early 60s. It's set up for crosscutting, up to 26 inches, and does a great job. Very accurate and smooth....

A 1/2 ton come-a-long or chainfall will work, 1 ton would be overkill but still would work fine. You just need a point to attach the hook or sling. I suspect that when you slide the pallet/crate off...

I don't disagree with James on his point regarding electrical advice if you do not do further research. Most building codes require separate circuits for 240v applications such as your dryer,...

Dean,
I built a new shop about five years ago adjacent to my house and this is basically what i did. My home (which I built about 24 years ago) was set up with 400 amp service from the start. I have...

I think the best advice I can give you is make sure that you can get some assistance from the tech support staff from the manufacturer of the vfd if you go that route. I just completed my first...

Malcolm,
Thanks for the compliment. I am using the VFD keyboard and the potentiometer to control on/off and speed. I used the enclosure to keep the VFD isolated from dust and debris that might be...

Yes, it does step up the voltage. Stepping up voltage is entirely normal in the electrical distribution system that is in use in this country. We use step up transformers in switchyards and power...

For a very long time, I have resisted using three phase motors in my shop. I always removed the motors and installed new single phase motors and new motor starters. I bought a 1 hp Delta/Rockwell...

Update on W-T 1100 ..... Guys, I need some advice ..... I am replacing the drive belt on the press and have managed to successfully remove the upper bearing retainer cap. The pictures show progress....

Thanks Doug. I might just strip the belt cover off the 2nd machine and resell it...but the idea of being able to control both the table and head independently was appealing. I don't have to do much...

Fellas....I have an idea that might be a little wacky so I need a sanity check. I found another WT 1100 yesterday for sale nearby. It's a benchtop set up. I wanted it initially to obtain the belt...

Thanks Larry for the info on rust removal on the post. I used a wire wheel to remove some of the rust just to see how it would work. Will get some scotch brite pads and go over it.
Joe

Gentlemen....I have posted pictures of the DP as requested. The press is shown in as recieved condition. I had lowered the head assembly and removed the motor for transport, but raised the head and...

Well, as it turns out, retirement allows me to attend auctions whenever I want! So I bought a 20 inch W-T press today for $350. It was a monster to get out of the basement where the PO had his shop,...

OK...I am a newbie here at the Sawmill, but have been woodworking for a very long time. Usually just read the posts and stay in the background. The question that I have to pose to you is can one have...
