I don’t know this but I wouldn’t be surprised if the two coils in the motor have two prongs each and there’s no case ground. I’d check continuity to the metal shell of the motor, I wouldn’t be surprised if none of the prongs gives zero ohms. Testing between the prongs for a real low resistance...

Have you checked for continuity/resistance at the prongs? Could be duplicates

With a cross slide mounted under the cutter, it’s a lot more than an upside down router table. If you ever wished you had a Bridgeport for wood, something to think about maybe.

I have a couple of these Rockwell overarm routers, phenomenal machine for the kind of stuff I do. One is a 110 motor, the other is 220. Is it possible to convert the 220 to run 110? Or vice versa? I have a transformer if it comes to that, but if it can be done internally I’d prefer that...

Slewfoot knows the score! Is that little airstrip still over by Freedom, on the way to Gilroy?

some impact sockets you don't see every day <blockquote class="imgur-embed-pub" lang="en" data-id="a/wvWsm"><a href="//imgur.com/wvWsm"></a></blockquote><script async src="//s.imgur.com/min/embed.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Murphy, on mine when I took the inner snap ring off I was able to slide the collar off. It's engaged by a Woodruff key that wants to fall out, and hidden in the collar is an 1/8" hole that keeps a ball bearing with a spring under it. When you slide that collar off the shaft, the ball bearing...

Found it, the 1/8" ball bearing was missing. Not sure if it's DPO or me that lost it!

I have an Atlas Craftsman Lathe, it's the 101.21200 model. I don't get around to using it often enough to ever get very good at it, but I like it. The problem I'm having is that the coupling in the center of the headstock pulley, the one you pull out to engage the back gears, slips out when...

About 10 seconds after I gave up, it all came together with no blood, no stripped screws, and no tipped-over toolchest. Thanks again! http://imgur.com/XdInhiP http://imgur.com/g7drOjs

thanks fellas! I don't think I'm gonna get my way with the drawers we have, but it is still a maybe.

I have three Vidmar boxes (so lucky) and I want to change the configuration of the drawers. Does anyone know a formula or a link to a calculator to move the drawers around between the boxes to get a better combination? I think the holes for the brackets are 13/16" apart, but the drawers are...

Messing around with a little old 10" bandsaw, the lower wheel runs on bronze bushes. There's a primitive hollow-bolt setup to run grease to the shaft. I thought it might be a nice upgrade to replace the bushes with roller bearings. It occurred to me though, would they have purposely used a bush...

you know what, you're right. they're for drilling glass, I knew and I totally forgot

I have never gotten around to finding out what these are for, and I've never seen anyone using them. TIA!! The ones on the left look to be home made from a triangular file. <a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/user/picturedlife/media/20170218_193054_zpsx2smkzvj.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img...

Okay, that sounds like it explains what I'm getting. Wheres the inlet to be lubricated? thanks again!

Thanks, farmerbrooks, thats what I thought, too, I can hear it unload when its in the UP position. What confused me is that the idler also engages in the UP position, seems like if I flip it down and the throttle runs wide open it defeats its own purpose? Is this machine designed to just keep...
