Any way to get it re-wound? I had my 600V/3ph re-wound to 220V/3ph to run a freq for $400. Getting it repaired/re-wound may be cheaper than you think.

I have a Baldor 1.5hp. New bearings. Could turn the shaft to size. 2.5 hrs west of GTA Baldor L3514TM motor 1.5HP, 1725rpm, 7/8” shaft, 120/240V https://www.baldor.com/catalog/L3514TM

Ive only ever had to use one once. It was used to grind a cutting tool used for re-facing a radiused surface on a machine used to fuel reators. Had to math the hell out of it. Turned out great though. I'm currently trying to find a sine plate for my home shop. Tough to come by. Lots of...

Going by the prices in the rest of his ads, which are crazy, no. Everything else he's selling is pie in the sky as well

I've tried them all (mostly) over the years but always go back to Walter. Yes they cost more but last significantly longer than PAuto or Amazon stuff, they blend nicer and use better abrasives. Same with zip cuts but I recently bought 2 boxes of Klingspor zip cuts that I'm pleasantly...

I'm also talking the vise itself. I usually lightly stone both the vise bottom and table, wipe clean and lightly oil. I then clamp the vise down and tram the edge so it's square, but also the bottom of the vise jaws to make sure it's not off kilter. Off by a few thou or two and errors can...

End mills can easily walk out of R8 collets especially with heavy cuts. The flutes "pull them out" of the collet, and can actually pull the workpeice up out of the vise as well, as has happened to me plenty of times. There are threaded endmills that lock into specific holders (weldon shank) and...

Haha, It sounds like Yoda was writing the instructions

Princess auto gear motor maybe? DC drive off a potentiometer would be the cats ass

End of February we are usually still knee to waist deep in snow.

Hey, looking for a sine plate in the 8-12" range, a few various sizes of angle plates and V blocks. I'm located in mid-western ontario/walkerton area but I'm willing to travel (just hopefully not to the guts of Toronto) PM me if you are wanting to clear some space.

They have had this stuff on here for what seems like years.

So I recently got a Colchester Master running. I found that when the lathe is on (motor and pump running, chuck not engaged), the chuck spins until I hit the brakes a few times. The chuck also continues to spin when I hit the carriage lever to neutral after some cuts. One would assume the...

A few more

A couple of buddies bought a sawmill a few years back. It was cutting all sorts of wonky. I went out and found the blade guides all worn and the one guide mounting arm was bent. I threw an indicator on the base and ran the head/blade over and found .100 of change from the front of the teeth...
