Andrew, just me or is that alot of motor on a small tank? I LIKE!

might want to check out the 1/2 drive flex head strong bars on for $10 and the tappered bits for the same price

thanks pugetdude, might be able to find something there. Tell me if im crazy but i had an idea. Epoxy a steel plate to the top pf the fan and weld a shaft that will fit onto that plate, think it would work?

one small miss with a hammer

Recently had issues with the spindle on my wood lathe. long story short I fixed it but destroyed the wheel turbine and housing. The housing ill be able to fix, but the fan is beyond repair, the part is no longer made/available. It is part #3 in the image. I will take and post a pic of my...

Im calling it boys, it is dead beyond repair. Spent enough hours on it, enough time thinking about it, time to cut my losses. Though please feel free to check out the soon to be posted, "Please help me source a part for my lathe"

I have no intention to buy a sheet of aluminum, ill just keep my eyes wide open for one that someone will allow me to have. Never noticed that much of a difference between flux core and solid core up here, because if thats the case i may have to do some math and find out how much welding i need...

not sure if what kind of vise it is, blue and has a 4 on the side. but my father had it on an outside table in the snow and rain for years. I stole the vise when he gave the table away and it still works perfect.

Richard I learned on gas we had a nice fancy miller at work. But I feel that the advantages are not worth the extra cost for my home machine.

thanks guys, now to find me some aluminum...... wife is gonna kill me if i take the siding off the house!

digging up an old thread here, but i'm having the same sort of problem. My welding table is always getting coated in splatter. I use a flux core, an no i'm not switching to gas mig. I modified an old table that my dad had when i built the table. I think the top is stainless. Anything...

modelcarsmag.com has a really good forum

I got started today, but got side tracked by another project, opps. Didnt have any issues with the soldering except for a place where the trace had lifted (not sure if it was me or already happened). Like was said replaced it with a piece of wire. In terms of electronics to practice on this...

R.Anderson thanks for the instructions. Tomorrow I shall embark on the modifying method you outlined. I will let you know how I make out. And don't worry I will not electrocute myself.

Sorry I took a while getting back on here. The wife decided we had to go to her brothers place for the weekend, So off we went. The black component is labeled Q4015L9 across MEX vertically and AO at the bottom. In terms of my skill I'm capable when it comes to soldering, but have never...

I shall grab them tomorrow and post them. Thank you for you time so far.

not sure if it should work when wired up if its an ac/dc. It moves properly for about a half turn but then sparks or smokes.

can not seem to find one, but would a dimmer switch controlled outlet accomplish the same thing? or are these more complicated?

Thanks for the replies thus far. And sorry if I came off as demanding, not intended. I don't think its completely dead as the motor does move when you put power to it. This post should contain pics of the case motor and board. I do have a soldering pencil and fixed the bad connections on...

I will try to get some pics up once i figure out how. I have a Craftsman Electronic Variable Speed Bench Grinder. Permanent Magnet Motor. Model C257.205220. The old girl stopped working. I'm 90% sure that what killed it is the circuit board. I called Sears, and not surprising that they...
