Disregard

Hello all, I'm working on the jigsaw attachment for the 10er I inherited this Christmas. The guide attachment on the jigsaw was all cracked and broken. I tried brazing it with low temp aluminum rods, but it cracked even worse and then fell apart. Now all I have is the rod with some bits of broken. H...

I think that the capacitor casing wont interfer with the top of the bench. I have to build a base now...

Yes, it can be reversed. I'm wondering why you'd want to run a SS backwards though? The guy I bought it from said that his dad, who passed away, had bought it as a replacement for his table saw and never got around to installing it. It was just sitting on a shelf. Lucky find for me.

So apparently I spoke too soon. I put the motor on and hooked up the newly refurbished speed changer to it and the headstock. I ran it for a few minutes and it started right up, but then it would make a wierd hitch sound occasionally. I just don't think that I've made the right fix. I'm going to tak...

Hello again everyone, I don't know what went wrong or how this all happened. I tried a few more things, but it was still hitting the phenolic board when the motor was at starting speed. So I got a piece of bailing wire and made the following "fix". http://i.imgur.com/A4qz8va.png It limits ...

Thanks for giving some thoughts on this and it may help if I clarify. First, there's a definite difference in the way it sounds when it spins than there was before disassembly. Second, the wear marks weren't there, this is something new that I've caused. I don't think that the felt is too worn, in f...
