GP, the motor makes no noises. I did check the capacitor with my analog ohm meter. I think your right about the motor being internally shorted. This afternoon I split the motor and it looks like it has been overheated. I also rang the leads and found 1,3,5, and 6 all ring shorted together. 4 and...

Yep, lights, welder and all components work except the grinder motor.

930Dreamer, The main motor is 230v 3Ph motor and is appropriately wired. There is a wire junction box that taps 2 legs of the 3 phase wiring that runs the blade welder and grinder. If you look in the picture the grinder motor has a label for wiring 220-230 or 480. The small tube is labeled...

The data plate in the picture is the only plate on the motor. I agree, the diagram is not the same as the plate. This is the way it was wired when I got it, but it doesn't work. The band saw is wired for 3ph and taps the L1, L2 for the welder and the grinder motor. I checked the capacitor and it...

I'm hoping for the electrical motor experts to give me some guidance. I'm lost in the wiring of the grinder motor on my band saw refurbishment. It's currently wired for 3 phase 220. Everything works except the grinder. I look at the label on the motor it shows L1 1-3-5, L2 2-4-6. It is a 6 wire...

ZEP makes a rust removal product for concrete. I got mine at Lowes for about $12.00 a gallon, worked fairly well.

LegacyIndustrial: Thanks for the reply, yes I read HoustonGarageFloor, I was hoping for more than one idea and maybe more in depth. What grit would you use, how far to feather back or should I just strip the entire area. What thickness would you use for a entire recoat. Thanks again. deosolaI...

Haven't really got any pointers on how to fix the problem, just a few opinions on what I did wrong. Now that I've waited several more weeks do you feel I still mixed it wrong or that maybe something else is to blame. Look at the pictures I've attached and you can see the epoxy is yellowing and...

Wednesday will be 7 days and it's still not dry. The top of some of these areas have a wrinkle finish. There is some sort of contamination that has caused the problem, I just don't know what it was/is. All the lacquer thinner was wiped and dryed before application. I talked to Epoxy-coat on...

After each mix I scraped the bucket with a spatula to clean out bucket. What confuses me is why only the last batch. We were very dilligent about mixing for 3 minutes. In fact it cost me a new I-Phone, by happenstance my wife was using the stopwatch function of the phone and a single drop shot...

I put down my Epoxy-Coat Thursday morning (over VCT). Looks good but I have several small areas that won't dry. Small being several softball sized areas and one area the size of 2 tiles all in the last batch of mix. All just inside the garage door. No pictures of the bad areas yet. It may be my...

Not trying to stir the pot, just something I read while building my shop. One of the other byproducts of using PEX or PVC is the Fire hazard. When exposed to flames they both melt or burn, thus producing a great blowtorch effect. With blackpipe or copper you reduce you chances of a small fire...

Nice cabinet. I was able to score 42 cabinets both uppers and lowers at a Hospital clearance auction. I'm in the process of cleaning and painting. They are very heavy and have accuride drawer slides and SS hardware. I can't wait to get them installed. OBTW I got all of them for $800, included...

I don't know the make of my dryer, I think it is Northern Tools. The 3/4 pipe has enough flex that each leg of the dryer is sloped down. Not as exagerated as yours but enough to flow moisture to the bottom water drain. If properly installed you should not have any rust problems. I thought the...

Scott37300, I did a simple set-up like MichaelP, but I used 3/4 black pipe. I went to the Habitat for Humanity recycle and bought most of my pipe. I did have to go to the box stores for some fittings and valves. I did alot of research and also used TPTools as a guide. Main line is 3/4 with each...

I'm retired from the military and now I have to work for a living. My office is mobile, and I'm gone alot, but couldn't think of a better job. I get paid to spend my time in Cabo, or skiing in Colorado.

I had a 10 ABC rated fire extinguisher. I'm going out Tuesday and getting 2 more. I might get a 20lb. I used all of the 10 on the boat. If I would have had a large gas fire the 10 would not have been enough. The boat was all fiberglass and no way I can think of to ground the boat. What we do...

E-Tek has a good idea about having an extinguisher close by. Unfortunatly I wasn't thinking about the possibility setting anything on fire. Now I know, in fact I always knew, that the fumes were flammable. I had a "Type ABC" fire extinguisher, and it put the fire out immediately. I would...

I think it would be a good idea for the moderators to post a New Years resolution that everybody on the board do a fire extinguisher check. Make sure you have a good one and it's fully charged. I can vouch that having a good fire extinguisher saved my shop. As far as going back into the...
