    Frank and all, I picked up a cap with the ratings you provided and dropped it into my dust collector. It worked! The machine started right up, hit and held max rpms. Thanks to all who posted, and...

    Been out of town, so a bit slow to reply. Frank, thanks so much for taking your switch apart! I know that was a bit of work for you, but sounds like it has put me on the track to getting this machine...
  3. Thanks Bill. After the motor ran at half speed...

    Thanks Bill. After the motor ran at half speed with the new capacitor, I pulled the capacitor and would start the motor by giving the top fan a whirl then hit the start switch. It always built up to...
  4. Thanks Mike and Charley. I finally had time this...

    Thanks Mike and Charley. I finally had time this evening to pop open the motor. I could not find a centrifugal switch. I looked at each end of the motor and did not see anything on either end of the...
  5. Both right. I got the cap specs from a motor with...

    Both right. I got the cap specs from a motor with the same HP, RPM, volts, and amps as the one on my dust collector. I have read that too high of a MFD can result in the capacitor becoming part of...

    Thanks Mike. Yes I was already on that website and others. No one stocks it, no on has pictures, no one has specs. :(
  7. Delta 50-720 DC Startup Capacitor Rating

    I need some help, folks. The capacitor on my 50-720 Delta dust collector melted down over the weekend. It is such a loss that I can't read any of the numbers on the can. I have searched everywhere on...

    Thanks everyone for the replies. I was traveling, and didn't take time to check in on this thread until this evening. I'm liking Lee's idea the best. Should allow me to adjust height and slide it up...

    Hi Folks,

    A couple of years ago we moved to a new place. I located my shop in the basement. I'm able to get all my tools in a nice compact layout, which works great for how I use my shop. With...

    Hi Erik,

    Thanks for the reply. I was sitting here thinking that I should use my air compressor to blow out the switch when it dawned on me that I had vacummed all the sawdust from the machine...

    Dead Switch on Bridgewood Bandsaw

    I have an old Bridgewood 24" bandsaw that didn't want to fire up today. The switch/motor controller acts as if it isn't getting power, i.e., it doesn't arm. I checked and I have power at the hot side...
  12. Thanks all for the replies. My concern wasn't so...

    Thanks all for the replies. My concern wasn't so much with the blade cutting square to the table as I know tables can be out of square. Rather I thought a bandsaw with flat wheels and a carbide blade...
  13. Tuning out Drift on my Bridgewood 21"

    As some of you know I picked up a used Bridgewood several weeks ago. I have been going through it and tuning it up. But I am still getting some drift when resawing 10 inch boards. The saw came with...

    Hey you gents are great! Glad to hear I can get a smaller blade to work. My 14" Delta just left with its new owner! Thanks for all the feedback! Perhaps the thing to do is get a good, but not over...

    Sorry Gents, I'm new around here. I didn't know pictures were a requirement! I'll include some pix below. The upper guide is a Carter after market guide, which looks like it could certainly handle a...
  16. Minimum Blade Thickness for Large Bandsaw

    I just purchased a used Bridgewood 540 bandsaw and am wondering if there is a minimum width of blade I can use on this saw. I have a nice 1 1/4" carbide tipped blade for resawing, but this saw runs...
  17. Any Bridgewood PBS 540 Owners Here?

    I'm picking up the subject saw later this week. The current owner has no manual or owner sheet. Would appreciate a little insight as to care and feeding that may be unique to this saw. Also...
