• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans.

    Atlas Mill electrical woes

    You bring forth a simple solution. As for how to wire the motor, we need to see the wiring diagram located normally on the motor wire terminal cover. TonyK. Grimsby Ontario Canada.

    Cheap 4x6 bandsaw $75 lower mainland BC

    I have the same machine and it would always want to throw a blade if it stalled, mostly when I was using it to cut sheet metal standing up. I took off the drive wheel and put a 2 degree taper towards the ridge on the drive wheel and it has been fine ever since. I was really thinking of selling...

    Atlas Mill electrical woes

    Okay, I cannot trouble shoot a connection wiring diagram as I have know way of understanding the circuit for this machine. Here is what I will suggest. Disconnect the motor and turn on the motor circuit and observe which relays pick up and if the contacts close. I suspect that the sparks...

    Cincinnati No 2 Cutter Grinder Restoration

    Here is a few shots of my #1 with some tooling that it came with. I don't have a set of centres for it. There is also an electro magnet surface plate for it I forgot about. I managed to find a vintage 600 volt twist lock cord cap set and install it so that I could move the work head motor away...

    Ammco 6" Metal shaper

    Gentlemen. The issue with the Model 40 crawler was that the first 2262 units used the short 3 roller track system from the MC Crawler pre 1953 to use up stock of old track parts. The Model 40 once past that serial number used 4 and 5 roller track systems and were stable for dozer blade...

    Ammco 6" Metal shaper

    Thanks for the reply. I only tried to hand start it once as the handle came around hard and almost broke my arm. Men back in the day were different to want to do this. Mine has an electric start 6 volt system. Not a lot of cranking before the battery is run down. Starter is a rod on the...

    New to me Ammco 7" Metal shaper

    Don't over push the machine. I can tell you that the 4 1/4-20 screws that hold the hub to the baklite gear can be torqued up without fear of stripping. So unless you crash the tool into the work, have the belts up snug to stall the motor, you should be okay not to strip a tooth off of the...

    Ammco 6" Metal shaper

    That appears to be correct information. Just to let you know, JD had over sizes of .015", .030" and .045", then there were after market piston and ring sets of .060" .090" which I have installed and wait for it... .125" over size. There is a lot of metal on the cylinder block walls. I...

    Ammco 6" Metal shaper

    Well I think I am done. Maybe a sticker or two will be needed to be printed up a the sign shop, but otherwise done. One of the things I do for my shop machines is make covers for them as they may sit idle for many months due to other projects being address. Sanding, ripping wood and...

    Belt Sander Electrocution

    Okay the video has established that the spark jumping is not 120 volt fed from the grid. This is a static discharge, high voltage to jump 1/4" but flat from current. Direct your efforts to static discharge resolution. TonyK. Grimsby Ontario Canada.

    Belt Sander Electrocution

    Electricity only flows because of difference in electrical potential. You have two choices. Isolate from the unit or become part of the unit. All sounds strange to me. If it is not part of the electrical grid standing on a conductive mat tied to the machine is the preferred way to go. If...

    Tool and cutter grinder - Jones and Shipman 310, Terrbonne, QC

    Very similar to my Cincinnati #1 tool grinder. I wonder what he wants for it? TonyK. Grimsby Ontario Canada.

    Belt Sander Electrocution

    Not to sound too technical but the word Electrocuted means to pass an electric current through a person's body until DEAD. How are you managing to write this post. TonyK, retired Electrical Safety Authority Field Inspector. Grimsby Ontario Canada.
