  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

    Rain in Edmonton

    I wonder how many people over the years got their 2x4's home from the lumber yard, did some measuring, and proclaimed, "Martha, dem sumb****** ripped me off! These suckers are only 1 and a half by three and a half!!!"

    Air compressor not restarting

    Unless I am missing something... If you have to press hard on the button then you are forcing the bimatellic strip to make contact. That means it got hot enough to bend and needs to cool to relax into position for a normal manual reset. But, if you can't observe ANYTHING at the compressor or...

    Air compressor not restarting

    Trying to make sure I understand: - first cycle air compressor runs as it should, reaches pressure setting, shuts off - second cycle, no symptoms of a struggling motor/pump, no heat at motor, but fails to start - at this point thermal overload is found in tripped position Curious, if you were...

    Air compressor not restarting

    Ok, but what about when it attempts a second cycle? Any signs of motor hum/buzz, hot to touch, before the thermal overload trips?

    Air compressor not restarting

    If that last scenario plays out, motor stalls attempting a second cycle, then @slow-poke will likely be correct about a failing start capacitor. @David Edit - have the capacitors been checked, yet?

    Air compressor not restarting

    Hold on, I edited my previous post. Please read. If the thermal overload is tripped it should only happen when current is being drawn by the motor. Therefore, using the meter and watching until the end of the cycle there should be an increase in current to heat up the thermal overload to...
