Re: I'm Looking for an Allison V-12

E. J. Potter had some of these, but he passed away in 2012.
You could check with his son Jack, or maybe Artie Brown to see if they
know of any more that is around.
E. J. at one time had the...

Re: can anyone spot the make of these dp's ?

Both are Taiwan units, someone slapped a good motor on the one is all.
We have one like the floor model shown, in our wood shop bought it new in 1978.

Re: Bandsaw and VFD Help

Keep us posted, Todd.
If both the pulleys have the same size bore you could grind off
the welds and swap them and then re-weld them back on.

I think you might have a 60:1 gear reduction unit....

Re: Motor guard m26 question.

Get one with the same size ports as your Motor Guard filter, it lessens the amount of
plumbing adapters you will need.
Any decent 1/4" regulator should work.

Re: Bandsaw and VFD Help

Todd, that Sumitomo looks like a gear reduction unit, do you have anymore info
on it like a gear ratio?
I would not get rid of this saw if it already has a gearbox on it.

Re: Bandsaw and VFD Help

On most pumps the HP requirement goes through the roof as you increase the

As long as the balancing and bearings of the motor,...

Re: Bandsaw and VFD Help

Re: Air powered DA or electric random orbital?

Dynabrade or similar random orbit air sanders are the way to go for wood.
Your hand is farther away from the pad, with the electric pad sanders and they are harder
to control. We used to run Porter...

Re: Just bought a mill... now what do I do!?

Looks like it has a #40 NMTB spindle, which is the easiest to find tool holders for.

Re: Woah. Novel new mower? Raven riding mower at Lowes

Been talking about this idea for years.
Wanted to use a Honda gold wing engine strapped to a 3 Phase alternator.

Re: whats a good first tig welder to purchase?

Usually lots of Syncrowave 300's on E-bay.
I would go with a 300 amp machine, especially if you are going to much aluminum work.
If you can find an Aerowave, at a decent price, they run on 3 phase...

I used some stuff called Hammerite on a homemade tapping jig.
Went on real nice and dried fast, and still looks good years later.

Re: Harbor Freight 44" Roll Cab Coupon

Wish you could get the 26" with just the bottom unit.
Want to use one under a small lathe, and don't have room for the 42, I mean 44. :wtf:
