changed the motor to 110 (same specs as 220 motor), bought a shaft adapter to covert the new motor from 7/8 to1 inch (came with a new keyway as well). Drilled the factory pulley from 24mm to 1" ID. So... I bought the motor for 120 I bought the sleeve adapter and keyway for 15 Paid a local...

the VFD is a cool idea. Seems like a really viable option and I don't think I'd miss the .5hp. I only have 20amp breakers in my sub panel in my garage so again, since I am not a home wiring pro (not even close), I wonder if this will still be too much. If these work, I would be really...

yep, that's mine. In case I can't/don't swap the motor, I will sell this one and buy a 110 machine.

let me look at my settings, but yes, feel free to call. - Eric

I'm working to upload pics... I am considering selling, but would rather fix (eg replace motor) and make it work.

just sent you a PM

I have read a million overly engineered threads here, but have yet to find a simple answer to a simple (stupid) question.... if I have a 1 car wide, by 2 deep garage (which I use as my workshop) and I have 4 foot, two bulb, florescent lighting... should I mount them wide or long for the best...

Re: What did you do in your garage today? I am doing something in my garage constantly.... but this week more than ever. See... I have a 1 car wide by 1.5 car deep VERY old garage (my house was built in 1910) so you can imagine, I have never owned large garages and I am very good with small...

I have been on Jockey Journal and HAMB forever, but just decided to check out Garage Journal and am glad I did. Greetings from the PNW. I have always had tiny garages, never more than 2 car and usually 1 car garages and have always done very well with very little (space). Right now, I have a 1...

I have always owned small garages, and have learned to do a lot, with little space. Here is a quick vid I shot of the current garage. <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess"...
