    Delta unisaw question

    I know that too. But, I can tell you that there is a noticeable difference in the real performance of the old repulsion/induction motors when compared to newer styles. I have a 1 hp Unisaw and have used 2 hp table saws (real hp, not developed) and it performs on par with the newer ones, in...

    Delta unisaw question

    I have an ancient Unisaw with the 'bullet' motor. It's one hp! Not long after buying the saw I bought a 3hp, 3ph motor. also a bullet style. Because I just knew that little 1hp wasn't going to cut it. I've never installed the 3hp. I seldom cut anything over true 1" thickness in...

    Will Electronics and other Items Function properly Without a Ground?

    I think that a GFCI installed w/o a ECG requires it to have a little sticker installed stating no ground available. Unless my memory has failed, (possible), all the GFCIs I've purchased have had that sticker in the box.

    Replacements for T8's

    I know this is a resurrected old thread, but I have a similar but different question. I have several 8' fixtures with f96T8 bulbs. Those are single pin per end and long dudes. I bought several T8s a few years ago to replace the original T12s but I've run out of replacements. Not a lot...

    Slate recoat thought?

    I think the first option would be a commercial floor stripper, used to remove old wax from floors. Usually used with a buffer and special pad. Maybe try the stripper on a small area, corner or something. It's not a harsh solvent, more a wax remover. And that may be what you have, old...

    Electrical Wiring Issue?

    I'll bet you're wondering why it wasn't clear to me. So am I! read right over that. In that case I'd suspect a defective overload. If it is the type internal to the motor, They do fail from time to time. Those are purely temperature sensitive devices. The bi-metal elements trip at the...

    Electrical Wiring Issue?

    Probably the difference in a single stage vs two stage compressors. Most 1 stg are set at 120 and most 2 stg are 175. At least IME. It's not clear to me what is tripping, supply circuit breaker, motor starter overload or motor's internal protection? If it's the supply, I'd try another...

    Floor Scrubber - Need help with issues.

    Could be loose connection(s), bad board, or my best guess, there is a relay controlled by the board (or onboard) which is bad/intermittent/stuck etc. Maybe this will help: https://shop.usaclean.com/parts-and-supplies/dayton/14x831/?srsltid=AfmBOopseRl30XahGo4JGyqM4eNCQjaYV_vi0_N7oJX8EZyPAK9kJYJS

    Grounds rods and concrete patio

    Our local inspector wants to be able to see the rod/conductor connection, even a Ufer must have and exposed end. Individual quirk or rule, who knows.

    You are correct. Looking at the whole pic really helps.

    Hydraulic trivia

    But, pressure can be applied to either the rod end or piston end. Every tractor loader has that configuration. And the cylinders can be reversed to apply more down pressure if desired. A pressure hose in the bottom of the left cylinder pictured will lift, but with less force than the rt.

    Hydraulic trivia

    x2. I assumed the same hose placement. Assumed, again, and I know better. Should have said that no answer is possible without a full depiction of pressure source.

    Black Pipe- Gas Line?

    In addition to the risk of puncture, there is also a consideration for bonding the CSST to protect from lightning. I've also ran into the different brand issues. Don't recall the names but one has a black coating and it's fittings don't rely on orings, but self flare the stainless liner when...

    How would you dig a long, shallow trench along a fence?

    Build bracket to offset a little moldboard plow. One with the rolling coulter to cut the sod. Pull with a JD455 garden tractor, then scoop up the sod with the little loader on same tractor. That's what I'd do.

    3 Phase Service Question

    Note that my post stated the original was single phase. I installed the 3ph later, using one of the original panels for some 120v loads Edit: but the original wiring was done by a guy who did mostly commercial as this was built as commercial shop back in the day, all wiring in EMT. so he...

    3 Phase Service Question

    All I can say is that I'm very happy with me 120/240delta. Shop was built in the 60s with a 240v single phase service, but with a separate breaker box and entrance panel. The entrance panel had the main breaker and the 240 breakers, the additional box had all the 120v breakers. Don't know...

    Cleansing the air on a renovation site

    I prefer to wear a good mask with appropriate filters, same one I paint with. Cleaning the air I breathe is Much more effective than trying to clean all the air. And exhausting into the open just runs the risk of exposing others to the stuff.

    Looks like this to me: https://www.picturethisai.com/wiki/Lonicera_japonica.html I have some of this stuff. Got infested when putting some free mulch from the city's mulch site on my azaleas several years ago. Still trying to get rid of it. Some places around town have a lot of it, on...

    23/32-in x 4-ft x 8-ft OSB Subfloor For Garage Interior Walls

    In the intended use, the tongue and groove side is 90deg to the joist direction and needs no support, that is is primary reason for being. In your use it should be installed horizontally and will need no support. If you install vertically it would be really hard to fit up the joints I would...

    LP Smart Panel install

    Length of the nails is really a small consideration. Hitting the studs is the goal. Any nail of more than an inch or so is going to potentially damage something in a wall if it misses the stud. As I recall from the LP documentation stud nailing is a requirement, just hitting the sheathing...
