Bump

Thank you all for the info. I’m working on upgrading wire, circuit breaker and magnetic start stop switch.

Really? Because a single phase 7.5 HP has a 31 amp rating. Do I need to double that because I have the two motors running on the same line at the same time? Or do 3 phase motors draw more amps?

Well. Not great news. I wired up the 10HP rotary phase converter. It will start up and run no problem. But when I wired it to the motor on the planer/jointer, it started the blades spinning (slowly it seems) and then popped the 40A circuit breaker after a second. I can spin the motor and the...

Thank you all for the info and expertise. I just got a 10 HP rotary phase converter (unused) on FB marketplace for $500. Once I finish a couple other projects, I’ll be wiring it up and let all of you know the results.

Hello everyone. I realize there are lots of threads about 3 phase conversion already but I can’t seem to wrap my head around the specifics of my application. I bought a Felder AD741 Jointer/planer from an industrial auction knowing it had a 7.5 hp 3-phase motor in it. I asked my electrician to...

To anyone who’s interested in outfitting their workshop, I saw this auction on Bidspotter.com today. It’s filled with Lista, Vidmar cabinets and workbenches. Just an FYI. https://www.bidspotter.com/en-us/auction-catalogues/bscci/catalogue-id-bscci10369?archivesearch=False&page=15

Thanks for the pointing me in that direction. I actually listen to Cremona on Woodtalk. I didn’t realize he had a loader for his behemoth saw mill.

Hello all. I discovered this item from a Pinterest link. I really think it’s a cool idea. Hydraulic cylinders lift the frame thru a 130 degree range and an electric hoist lifts the items up. It has a 2000lb capacity. I was curious about the square tube dimensions needed to support these loads...

Well Gregor. It’s been a week of reading every post on this thread and I finally caught up to your life. I found you from GJ’s “And the nominees are” thread of best threads to read and I was not disappointed. Thank you for you talent, instruction, creativity, and drive. As you’ve seen, you’ve...

32x24 garage with a studio apartment space above (unfinished) Suburbs of NYC Had contractor neighbor and brother help with framing. Did the roofing myself. Did the insulation myself. All site prep, concrete, and siding/trim was hired out. Ran a trench for a 100amp subpanel from house. LED...

What an awesome offer and discount. Thank you.

Naturalgas- I have read that propane heaters add a lot of moisture to the room because of the by-products of propane combustion. This would not be good for a workshop with cast iron machine surfaces. Does the Rinnai heater avoid that?

Thank You tig! Just spent two days going through the whole thread. Not only was it great entertainment, I got so many ideas for my space. And inspiration to get in there and DO IT for some projects that are outside of my comfort zone. I have an 84 911 that needs some things attended to...

Follow up. I took the valves apart and you all were right. The compressor had sat for a couple years and one of the valves was rusted open. In the process now of refinishing the valves and head. Thanks all for the help
