Hi Torqueman2002 Thanks you so much for all the research you have done these wiring diagrams will help me get this grinder back up and running. My switch has no center off so it's ON/ON and yes if either of the outside terminals are left open, it can be used as an ON/OFF switch. Thanks for the...

Hi Torqueman2002, Thanks for all your help. One black wire is connected to one gray wire. When I ohm it out from the other gray to the black the resistance is 13.2 ohms. I understand if hooked to 220 volts you need to break both legs to turn the grinder off, or better yet to kill all power...

Thanks again Torqueman2002 I'll give Baldor a try and see what they say. The switch that came with mine is only a single pole single throw. I'm assuming that since this one pictured above has a double pole single throw switch that it's wired for 220V. Alsos that the additional wired are for...

Thanks Torqueman2002, mine is strictly 115 volt so the wiring diagram has a few more wires than mine. I use an ohm meter and ohmed out the wires on mine. I determined that one winding is to 2 black wires and the other winding is the 2 gray wires. There are 2.4 ohms between the black wires...

I recently was offered a Baldor 623E bench grinder. It is a basket case and was told it was working before the previous owner took it apart. Well I took it and cleaned it up a bit but when it comes to the wiring, this is where I could use some help. There is also a capacitor with the...

I would agree that yours looks older than the one I posted. I agree with 58Yeoman that the one I posted looks like it's from the 70's. The one I posted looks a lot like the one we had at work. I started there in 1986 and it was there when I started. Yours could be from the 60's or earlier...

If I had to guess, I'd say a Blackhawk. It looks very much like the SJ3 2 ton floor jack.

I have the Channel Lock brand. Bought them form Epstein's a few years back.

If the gear spins on the shaft just turn and tap turn and tap until you get it aligned with the hole in the shaft, then drive all 3 pieces out. If you sheared that pin you better look into why it happened. Did something lock up in the distributor? Is the oil pump tight? oil pressure relief...

Thanks, I got an Email off to Jori.

I got my order in Order #100005885 No place to mention Garage Journal Epstein's Day 2016. I used Paypal.

I'm running into a similar problem. Although I don't have radiant heating in the floor. I have multiple items I want to attach to the floor. Only they have to be able to be taken down after I use them. My garage is actually used as a garage when I'm not using it as my shop. What I came up...

Looks great so far. Welds look good. Make sure you build it with enough throat to wheel the width metal you want to work and then some.

Hey Chevy Tech, I'm in the same situation that you are in. I have a two car garage that has to hold 2 vehicles and motorcycle plus all my tools. Here's what I came up with. A stand with a 20" x 20" piece of 1/2" plate on top. You'll notice that the base is bolted to a piece of 3/4" steel...

CR, Very cool idea. Looks like it is working well and it's removable so you can use the lift for other things.
