For clarity, you also have a 'saw cuts funny' thread going. Am I correct to presume that the PowerPro is neither slipping nor bogging during table saw operations at approximately the same set/indicated speed? To me, that would suggest slipping. And you've already determined the coupler is slowing do...

Yes JPG 3500 rpm. This is a confusing convention that I blame SS for. On the PowerPro, RPM (set or measured) is always referring to upper spindle RPM. Same if you set a function through the menus. And I just checked my laminated speed charts, they also give Jointer speed of 3450 - 3500. But since t...

Check alignment of riving knife portion of upper guard to blade.(?) Ideally there is no contact, the riving knife is in the kerf with no contact on either side. There's an adjustment for this, presumably in the manual.

My thoughts here presume it is a Gen 1 PowerPro. Is there a fault message on the display when this is happening and/or does the RPM indicated drop off? (Trying to isolate between the motor bogging and something slipping) I don't want to encourage looking elsewhere when cutting, so maybe have someone...

The Router System combines an Over Arm Router (OAR) with a more traditional Table Router (under table). Both were available separately or together. The OAR is sometimes called a Pin Router. There are some 'Sawdust Sessions' videos that feature another version of the OAR, I suggest you start with the...

IIWM... Having used several SPTs on the old 3/4HP Mark 5 as well as the newer 1-1/8HP, if I was changing the motor in the PS I would go with 1 HP. I agree with Dennis on TEFC. I don't know about installation and removal of the bushing/sleeve, but original ID would be the OD of the shaft, which I thi...

The start capacitor for the Emerson is internal to the case. IIRC you can see it through the vents in the non-shaft end cap. From your post I could not tell if you were planning to use the bored out sheaves on this, I don't that is ideal.

I was thinking that but the main and extension tables have the locking mechanism for connector tubes. I didn't know 505's didn't have the locks, but I find that sometimes it's overly optimistic to even assume you'll get what is in the pictures. ;) We could have another whole forum section on ebay s...

Mark 7 with Free Shipping on ebay for $1500 opening bid. Couple of issues, from the description it says local pickup, it isn't a Mark 7, and you can't really tell what you're getting from the pictures. But at least a 505 with PowerPro, Belt Sander, and Jointer and all looks to be in good condition. ...

If you can chuck the shaft into something and hold the outer race of the bearing while it spins you should not feel any vibration. That bearing can be replaced. I've posted sources for it here on the forum somewhere... Sorry, not sure I'm following this. Are you saying buy one of these assemblies, ...
