    Delta Lamp on Disk Sander? But Not Retirement

    Just picked up this Delta 12" Disk Sander. It's a 3-phase with a mechanical switch. I'll be running it off a VFD, but I'll keep the switch on to keep the originality. Can someone help identify this lamp that came with it? It looks like original to the machine. It's got the right shade of...

    Main panel breaker trips before subpanel

    My 50amp breaker feed at the main panel trips before the subpanel on a 30amp 240v circuit. Shouldn't the 30amp breaker trip first at the subpanel? They're different brands: Square D QOs at the subpanel and standard GE at the main. Is the breaker at the subpanel broken?

    Delta Motor - replacement shaft felt seal washer

    I'm trying to restore a two vintage (1940s) Delta 710 motor (1/2 HP, 1 Phase, 1725 RPM). There are felt washers on the ends of the shaft that sits on each end of the bell housing. They are 1.625"x0.75"x0.125. I can't seem to find replacements, or maybe I'm looking at the wrong place. I'm...

    VFD Overload?

    I have a KBAC 29D running my 2x72 grinder. I just installed a 14" contact wheel, but now I get a red status light, which, according to the manual, is an overload situation. The motor runs, then slows down, then stops. What exactly does overload mean? Should I increase the current limit to...

    Section of slab sinking. Anybody hire expanding foam to lift?

    Sections of my concrete slab (outdoors) are sinking due to the base compacting or wearing away. It’s 20 years old but the sinking started several years after it was poured. Anybody use those companies that drill holes in the slab then spray an expanding foam to lift and level it? How long does...

    All I need is 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2” bits and fasteners: No More Buying Drill Sets

    I just broke my last 1/4“ drill bit so I’m ordering a set of a dozen 1/4” instead of just two to replace those broken ones in my drill sets. Then I realized instead of keeping those multi-size drill sets, I’ll just order a half dozen or dozen of 1/4”, 3/8” and 1/2” drill bits and standardize all...

    My 2x72 Grinder Throws a Lot of Dust: Any way to reduce?

    My 2x72 grinder throws a lot of metal dust onto itself, the table and into the air and goes all over the garage and I have to breathe it. Is there a way to reduce it, or capture it better. I can catch the dust that goes directly down into a bucket or a dust collector bag right beneath the...
