Need a motor. 1/2 HP, 1750 RPM, 1/2" shaft.

7.5 HP is a lot of inrush for a single phase circuit. Start-capacitor?

Anyone know where I can get one? Emerson Type 1

I built/rebuilt a 25 HP rotary phase converter that someone had kludged together. I use it to run a 10 HP air compressor. Both were free or I would have done something else because it's really more trouble than its' worth. I wanted to see if I could do it. I bet the capacitors it takes to...

Hobart Cyber Tig. Learn to use it, then tell me what all these flippy switches and dials do.

What kind of vice?

When the ballasts die, I switch. LED power draw is less, so I can put more on a circuit.

I was considering getting the stand mounted model.

Anyone owned/used one? I'm not going to use it to make a living, just drill a few holes. I know it's not a Hilti.

Don't blow it apart.

Looks like there may have been an overflow detection switch that is now no longer wired. Chances are this is due to nuisance trips due to some other underlying issue. Condensate drain plugged, etc. Plastic pans (the old ones) were bad about cracking over time. I've also seen units freezing...

No. Bad idea.

Interesting. The fit/finish looks a whole lot like a Freeland Shooter's case, range box, or rifle crate.

I've got one of these with a drop-point blade. Tough for the money and you can put a razor sharp edge on it. It was a freebee, but I really like it.

The ones with a rotating head, I use like a speed wrench sometimes. Can be handy when there isn't room for a ratchet head.
