Acquired this last week after searching for a couple of years. 1 b4a.jpg 2 b4b.jpg A bit of minor rust and sawdust cake on the bearing shield holes. Used some unusual 'tooling' to disassemble it. 3 one.jpg Metal chuck mounted on SS spindle holding bearing head. MT2 extension with a crescent wrench o...

There is a work around. viewtopic.php?f=10&t=11986

Late reply, but those 'unanswered' questions were quite narrow and it is likely no one HAS an answer. There are times when PM's are the better approach, but that is far from perfect also(easy to miss completely).

I consider a "C" across the input(Hot - Neutral) to be a High Pass Filter effectively snubbing the high Frequency stuff.

I am curious how a capacitor by itself performs a LOW pass function?

Filtering? I believe line filters are the reason many devices trip GF devices. Filtering on an unbalanced line can be tricky(not totally effective). 120 in the US is unbalanced. 240 in the US is balanced. A filter that connects to the grounding conductor is asking for GF trips. BTW one can get shock...
