How do I figure out which heater coil to use..?

I was picking up table saw rails today and the guy had this in his garage. I bought it... I think it should work - Can someone confirm this? I have a 1hp- single phase- 120v delta motor. I'll run 12/3 wire from it. Thanks!

Thanks everyone... I'll look into finding new/used internal parts for 115 single phase.. 1hp

Hello - I was viewing a similar thread to my question, but i think my application is slightly different... I have to power a Unisaw with 115v. It's currently 220v but has a dual volt motor. If someone can explain what wires to switch where - that would be GREAT! I know it's all there on the...

Thanks - Free always makes thing more important...lol I would probably never buy a jointer, but since I found it, now all of a sudden I want one... The blades looked OK, I'm going to look at them better tomorrow, if they're decent, I may see how they cut, since I've heard they can be tricky to...

Found this jointer on the side of the road... Rusted, but not that old... I cleaned up the table, and the motor works... Anything particular I should know about these... I sanded the table with 120 - 220 - 360 - and a coat of wax, and I've started taking it apart inspecting it piece by piece...

I have a small 6x10 open trailer I'm fixing up. Doing a few minor modifications to it like adding a few rope tie down spots, painting, etc. Would love to get see other trailer modifications.... So far I've added a piece of angle along the front, a couple of re-bar loops on the back, and...

I'd definitely go with Japan. I think the Japanese stuff in general is probably better than a lot of USA stuff. They have MUCH higher standards for everything, and a very strong work ethic.... Huge difference with Made in China and Made in Japan. Stick with vintage USA when you can, but Japanese...

Thanks WWII and Outlawmws....

Installed new power chord today. It was suggested that I ground the motor as well. Would I simply add a ground wire from one terminal on power switch to the pedestal? Bottom 2 lugs of the switch are for power, and the top 2 are the lights and motor, motor being the thicker 2 wires in the...

Will clean the plate tomorrow and get a better look at it... It does run and sounds smooth, really smooth - I love it... I did open up the switch and the wires are looking old. I bought new wire and think I should maybe ground it....? Where would I add the ground wire? Maybe drill a small hole...

I' just about to re-wire an old pedestal grinder from the 1930's. If I switch it to 3 wire, where do I ground it? Would I drill a small hole in the pedestal and ground there?

Just picked this up a few hours ago.....

Great - Thanks for the info.... Rock Island Vise

Oh no no...lol I measured it today. jaw width is 3" and total length front to back closed is 12". It's a small one, but I like it....
