    Startrite Saw.....What's this?

    Unfortunately, the original style MEM switch/enclosure i have, is too small to get a modern contactor and overload inside.... I'll cross that bridge once the saw has been refurbished as it's one of the last things to fit.

    Startrite Saw.....What's this?

    Thanks #ChaiLatte 👍 Here's a picture of the dual voltage 3 phase motor next to a 240v single phase motor......The taller motor on the right is the single phase one. It's a straight swop mechanically, I just need to decide whether to put an original MEM push button starter on it ( as would have...

    Startrite Saw.....What's this?

    Ya know Johnwa,.....That's exactly what I thought it was!.......😂😂😂 Thanks Johnwa. 👍 As I said in post#5, I have been given a 240v single phase motor from a member of this Forum, so I will just remove the Grey box, the 3 phase motor and all subsequent wiring & switches and return it to how it...

    Startrite Saw.....What's this?

    Here is a picture of the 3 phase plug & cable that came with the saw and it enters the Grey box directly. I'm pretty sure the motor is dual voltage but is a 3 phase motor.......The single phase 240v motors are slightly longer and the 3 phase motors are shorter......This motor is the short one.

    Startrite Saw.....What's this?

    Startrite Saw.....What's this?

    I tried to get close enough to the motor plate to take a picture of it yesterday, but the saw was stored in a rather inaccessible postion at the time. Having said that, from what I could see, I think it is a dual voltage motor..... I managed to get the saw for a good price and have been...

    Startrite Saw.....What's this?

    I was thinking it may be some kind of electrical brake, if the saw was being used in a commercial environment? Originally, saws of this age would never have stopped spinning in under 10 seconds......

    Startrite Saw.....What's this?

    I picked this up yesterday and the saw was originally a 240v single phase saw, but appears to have been converted to 3 phase at some time in its life. On the back of the saw, it has this box mounted on it.......Can anyone shed any light as to what it may be? I will post a few more pictures of...

    Elu ETS 21

    Aaahhh !❤ Elu.....That brochure reminds me of when I bought a new TGS 173 back in 1992....Its still going strong and the only thing I've ever had to do to it is fit new motor bearings last year. I've also got that 1251 RAS as well in my home workshop. As @hlvd said, quality built.

    power router problems

    It is a twin flute cutter,...But, it's not a downward cut @thetyreman ! I use upcut, downcut and compression solid carbide cutters, some of which I've bought from Wealden and the 3rd picture that Thingybob posted in his #9 post, is an uncut spiral.

    Spalted wood

    Admittedly, not a bowl but this Spalted Oak box had about 10 coats of sanding sealer applied to it, sanding/ flatting down between coats before a couple of coats of Microcrystalline wax.

    Cordless Batteries.

    In recent years, I've only ever bought genuine OEM battery packs when I've needed a replacement........But, many years ago, I did have some 18v Atlas Copco NiCad battery packs re-celled with Panasonic batteries. They lasted just as long as the originals but have since died as well. It was quite...
