Re: New Power Station Motor Or Fix It

The oil ports on my motor have these yellow plastic plugs to seal them when not being used. PXL_20240327_003646944.jpg As for the bearing type, lubrication, and oil port orientations, see this old thread from 2013 for more color. JPG's motor was just like mine. Unfortunately, I didn't take any photo...

Re: New Power Station Motor Or Fix It

Hmmm … the exact same motor model number again. How do you suppose you are supposed to re-oil that one? Or dioes it have ball bearings, along with an incorrect label?

Now I see that the brand on the label is US Motors. Go figure.

Re: New Power Station Motor Or Fix It

I recalled that the label on my Power Station motor specified lubrication intervals, but didn't see that on glarson's motor label. So here's a pic that I just took of mine. Motor label.JPG Note that the motor model number is exactly the same on both labels. Yet glarson's label declares that THIS MOT...

Re: Help identifying parts

Google “planer knife sharpening machine”, look at the images, and you’ll se a lot of blade/knife clamps that look similar to that assembly. The knobs on yours look a lot like the ones on this Makita.

Re: Just got a 10E

The saw guard is from a radial arm saw. The protuberance is a mount for an anti-kickback pawl, which is a dead giveaway. I’m not sure about the brand. The thing just to the left of the saw guard, sitting on the miter-gauge bar, looks like a jigsaw attachment, likely for a radial arm saw as well. Giv...

Re: Jigs and Fixtures

Larry, whenever I need to place two WoodAnchor slots close together, I simply try to keep the closest distance between them (i.e. the weakest section) appropriate for the application. For example, if the closest distance between slots is 3/4”, that “weak” section will have roughly the same strength ...

Re: Jigs and Fixtures

For a sacrificial miter gauge fence, I once laminated two pieces of 12 mm BB plywood, and vertically offset the fixturing slots on each side. An alternative, If you don't have the vertical space to offset them sufficiently, is to just laminate up a thicker piece. Miter gauge fence LowRes.JPG That sa...

Re: Jigs and Fixtures

Those spacers are a neat idea, Larry -- I'm going to remember that one. I can't tell from the pix, but are you using WoodAnchor sliding nuts along with those clamp knobs to mount the fence to the aluminum angle? Be gentle with them if so -- the brass threaded inserts aren't designed to be pulled fro...
