Hi Fellow Woodworkers;
2nd post here - looks like a good community. I just picked up a PM 30 and looking for some feedback. It's currently 3ph - motor looks fairly new. I couldn't test it and I don't have 3ph or a converter. Weighing the choices of replacing the motor with a 1ph 220 or just buying a converter. I dont know anything about these - have 220 in my garage and several machines running on it. Also, it seems that I am missing a couple of fences for the belt. Took these pics just before tearing it down. Bag and blower look good, bearings feel fine and sheet metal is in pretty good shape. Need to decide how to power it before I send it off to sandblast - might need to fill some holes in the cabinet. Also, hearing about graphite paper (??) to put attach to the belt platen - is this right where do source this? Plan is to repaint, considering replacing bearings while I have it apart, power it up and add the missing items. Been looking for a deco base Delta for yrs., this came along and I think it will be sweet once I finish it up. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
