Measure the voltages at the line terminals at the switch, you should have 240 between any two pairs. That temperature rating is the max environmental temperature (the air surrounding the motor) that the motor can be operated in.

Your switch wiring appears correct, but your current readings are 4 times higher than they should be. Something is not right.

If you can post a picture of your switch it would help. You could also remove the switch from the equation. Wire the motor direct to test. That will show if it is a switch or motor wiring issue.

Doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I would wire as the diagram on the access plate. If you discovered you had an error in the switch wiring that could have been the issue. I would also try running it with the belt disconnected to remove any other possible causes for overheating (belt alignment...

Re: DP#66 with Table Lift For those without the slow speed or the vari-slo that find use in raising or lowering the head as well as the table you could use 2 thinner needle roller thrust bearings, one on the inside and one on the outside. Personally I have not found a need to lower the head...

I would determine what is causing the wobble before deciding the course of action. Unless the bearings have gotten to the gritty, grinding, howling, balls ready to fall out of the races stage, they don't normally cause much runout. Remove the chuck and check the spindle runout. If it's okay...

Go to the first page of this thread, FrankLee has beautifully indexed and linked every part of these drills, including the vari-slo disassembly. With the vari-slow you only need the small pulley.

In addition, remove the tilt locks and squirt some penetrant on to the pin area of the table pivot on the inside through the lock sleeve holes. As FrankLee suggests, this is also easier to do if you remove the table from the column, as you can turn it to easier see the inside. You can also...

I think I actually heard all the followers of this thread screaming YES! YES! at the same time :)

On a piece of equipment that also has 120v for controls and such the high leg location matters, but on a simple motor it does not Here is a very good decription of how to determine motor wiring, towards the bottom of the thread: **I don't have enough posts here to share a link, I will PM it...

If everything else is correct, changing those 2 leads should just change the direction of rotation with respect to the position of the switch. Since it appears you have a high leg delta system, measure your voltages at the line connections on the switch to make sure your cord is wired correctly...

A picture of your switch and how you wired the drum switch would help. Most 3 phase drum switches are line to 2,3,6 motor to 1,4,5

Little typo in your second set, should be 2-8-4

Search for "NEMA 48 Cradle mount resilient rings" and you will find options. If your motor has the round or the hex hubs, replacements are available in most hub sizes. If your motor has a square hub replacements are no longer available. You can get sheets of 1/2" thick rubber from McMaster and...
