Clean the RAS Post today!

I put a little work into cleaning the post today! I used 120 and 220 grit sandpaper on my ROS!

BIG difference !

You may want to finish the job with WD-40 and some 0000 steel wool … if you're interested

Cool.

I was thinking that … with the 0000 steel wool AND WD … it will remove even more of the fine scratches, and leave an even nicer surface.

Got my motor back, but a problem!

Got my motor back from the shop, it ran awhile but it stop coming back on. I had new bearings and new power cord put on there.

Do you have a volt meter. Check the power at the switch and also at the3 motor. If the motor is good then the switch might be bad.

I'd hate to think that that was the problem all along.

I see from an earlier post that the switch is on the motor so I assume that the motor shop checked it out also.

I'd guess it is a return trip unless it is in your wall power supply. Is it 120 or 220.

Did the circuit breaker trip ?

Have you tried pushing the button ?

I sent you a PM with that idea, and mentioned that … even IF the breaker WAS tripped, and re-setting it DOES get the motor started again … I wouldn't run it until you've had them take it apart, to see what's wrong.

My guess: something's rubbing. Friction > heat > excessive amperage draw > circuit breaker tripping.

You can get a working volt meter, incidentally, for like $3 or $5, at Harbor Freight. An important tool-particularly if you're thinking about restoring other old iron !

Agreed !

Inquiring minds (and me !) want to know.

The saw is looking GREAT !!!

And … I'm guessing … will cut a WHOLE LOT better with a motor that actually works !

The motor was overheating that reason it cut off. And the bearing had push itself out that was causing the overheating.

Hey, Charles ....

Off topic, but …

Have you thought about just ducting your dust collector (I see it in the corner, and it reminded me) to the OUTSIDE ?

I mean … your shed is not heated or air-conditioned, right ? That's the usual thing to be concerned about, if you DO duct your DC to the outside, but … for you …. you could just install a dryer vent, use a chip separator between your tools and the DC, and then …. put a piece of hose between the DC and the dryer vent, and …. not ever have to worry about breathing fine sawdust, again.

Just a thought. Your cartridge filter is excellent, but … in theory … it's still not as good as just blowing the dust outside the shed !
