    Help reassembling a Delta disc-belt sander with a potential relay

    https://forums.woodnet.net/showthread.php?tid=7372094 Per post 7 there, If it's gravity "return", then I should be able to test it with no power running to it with a simple continuity test by inverting it. I think I'll try that as step "0" I just looked at a pic of the OEM relay and there is...

    Help reassembling a Delta disc-belt sander with a potential relay

    oh ... for pete's sake... it never even occurred to me the orientation of the relay matters. That would explain no spring, and how it rattles when shaken. I paid no attention to its orientation. In fact most of the "tests" I've done were with it out of position, hanging off the wires.

    Help reassembling a Delta disc-belt sander with a potential relay

    There needs to be some sort of a spring that keeps the contacts open unless forced closed by the coil. It might be built in to the piston. - This puzzled me. No, I saw no visible spring. I'll take it about for the 20th time and look again. I get that the magnetism pulls it one way, but without...

    Help reassembling a Delta disc-belt sander with a potential relay

    I have a Delta 31-695. I've used it about 2x a year for 30 years. About this time last year it stopped "releasing" the start winding a second or so into use, as it should do. Got busy, couple months go by. I took it apart and I saw the relay was screwed together with a ultra thin screw, and...

    Can someone help me to the "next level" in doing my own Delta belt-disc motor repair?

    https://www.lumberjocks.com/threads/starting-potential-relay-for-delta-belt-sander.318012/ Says it was the relay for him. I already came inside from the garage. I'll have to figure out out to take the relay out for inspection, tomorrow after work.

    Can someone help me to the "next level" in doing my own Delta belt-disc motor repair?

    So I have a Delta 9"/48x6" Part number 31-695 combo belt and disc sander. Hobby use, cosmetically pretty pristine, and I repulleyed it to run the belt a hair slower. So, over a timespan of only a half-dozen uses, it went from taking a second or so to get up to speed (normal)..... to sounding...

    stand alone beam break alarm at driveway entrance?

    I'm having problem linking. Amazon Owltron O1 Clear case of get what you pay for. Approached a pair of local vendors with a link last month... Saying literally do you have this but nicer known quality...one didn't reply, one said "those look good". My renter found those. She's very bright and...

    stand alone beam break alarm at driveway entrance?

    I have a camera system that falses too much to monitor the alerts in realtime or near real-time by text. It's been stated by everyone in the property (I have renters of a suite, too) that a basic beam break infrared beam across the driveway that rang an alert in the house, would be perfect...

    Installing faux brick on a 12' tall x 16' wide plywood shear wall- Trying to minimize depth- can I go direct? 3/8 drywall first?

    OK, I think I had the cartridges always in the house (not in car or garage) which I keep at 23.5C (74F), but I was moving slowly, and had the gun laid down outside over approximately an hour or so each attempt, in temps barely above freezing. I went back to PL400 Subfloor and Deck, and zero...

    Below 265 SQ/FT Very small garage in Russia

    I still have one of those Kia's in the household. This is a great photo of it in about 2019. It does not look so good now. In Feb it was run out of coolant, until it lost compression. I used an endoscope camera to view inside and decided for the price, and because there was no damage I could...

    Installing faux brick on a 12' tall x 16' wide plywood shear wall- Trying to minimize depth- can I go direct? 3/8 drywall first?

    Out of curiosity, have you used it before? I bought some and it's so damned hard/dense in the tube, I wrecked a decent caulking gun (water pump pliers on the trigger...) Thought it was a aged out tube, but differently branded store 20 miles away same problem. I wanted to use it because...

    Bit Sharpener

    I'll send you one of those for $5+ shipping costs. It *****. It leaves no center tip. Sides (wings, circumference) is nicely sharp, but bit is basically useless except in softwood in a drill press. OK, maybe in softwood *or* a drillpress. ha I'm quite interested in the higher level 500x or...

    Ideal bathroom ceiling height

    I had to chuckle at that. You guys know in the dry parts of the world we set the shower to steam up the room and go away until it's ready, right? lol

    Super basic question- if I'm planning a sub panel for in the garage how do I know if my main can handle it?

    I've just not had time to update my thoughts on this. I don't mean but them down here, I mean update them- the thoughts themselves... lol Trying to get a suite ready for rent and everything is fighting me and aspects are all interconnected. Not sleeping well. I think maybe the best way to plan...

    Super basic question- if I'm planning a sub panel for in the garage how do I know if my main can handle it?

    Looks like up to a certain height (1.5m?) it's required to protect ACWU. Fine by me. As for local code amendments, I can find Ardrie, Country of Strathcona, but nothing for Edmonton. Alberta code is for sale for $185. Grr Research then is dependent on gauging the reliability of 2ndhand info...

    Super basic question- if I'm planning a sub panel for in the garage how do I know if my main can handle it?

    Copper RW90 in 3 gauge is $10/metre. In 4GA it drops ~$7.50, though availability is drastically worse(?) So x 3 plus add in a ground and conduit costs & I'm still around twice what direct burial aluminum is. Looks like I measure and multiply by $19 Now, when I do direct burial, in a residential...

    This seems a game changer. Not for my use case, but maybe for others. https://electrek.co/2022/07/27/siemens-home-ev-charger-adapter/ Can't imagine the testing they had to go through to put this outside, almost makes no sense, but Siemens is big enough to get what they want...

    Super basic question- if I'm planning a sub panel for in the garage how do I know if my main can handle it?

    manufacturer gives 115A @ 90*C rating for the aluminum 1ga from post 53 , btw, and provincal guidance (albeit for Sask), says to derate from 90 to 75*C, multiply by .886, so I'm still at ~101 amps. Thats overkill, but what I kept being pushed to do. OK. Slightly off topic links...

    Super basic question- if I'm planning a sub panel for in the garage how do I know if my main can handle it?

    OK, I'll take a gander at RW90 availability, later in the day. I thought I might resolve a BOL/materials estimate this morning but seems not to be... Breaker for the main in home board (btw why is this $42 and the square D linked above $153?? it has no other features I see or udnerstand...
