Welcome! I too use a spirit level to prop up my shed on the windy days 😎 Its a great looking space, whats size it is? Im in a tiny shed myself, 8ftx10ft to be exact but have a thing for old cast iron machinery so much less floor space left(no floor space)

If not spinning the correct way is it just the straps that need to move ? I checked and CEF down the road have the cable and ferrules and a friend will me a few ring terminals in the morning save buying 100 for 3

All works perfect, thanks once more for the help! I checked it on a plug then went on and added the switch once i knew it worked. 🥳 Now i can get back to ags itself. Now i have pictures of the correct wiring etc ill redo it before i put the saw into daily use and use more appropriate gauge cable...

Amazing, that i can understand, i will head out to the shed and give it a try in a few minuites and get back to you. Thank you very much again, you and mike for the time taken !

Ah thats a bit of a pain, its the one Clarke sent me for the motor model i gave them.. To go about wiring as per your diagram do the terminals matter at all or just the winding ends? If i swap one end of the run winding from V2 to U2 so i can strap to W2, do i not need to move the other end...

I sometimes draw a blank and really struggle to understand a fairly simple concept and unfortunately this seems to be one. Would either of you mine drawing a dummy proof diagram with wire colours etc, the diagram Clarke sent me might as well be French, it would be very much appreciated...

This was my best try at following the diagrams but no joy, but also no bang or smoke so that’s good

I managed to get a wiring diagram ! Newbie question here but what are Cs and Cr; capstart and caprun ? the diagram is still like a foreign language to me 😂 Not quite so pressing but is there any way a 3ph switch can be wired for a 1ph motor or do i have to put this switch box back on the shelf ?

I did check the cap and it showed Lo. What would you suggest for arrangement? I will do it now while i'm already down to the 4 winding wires

Thank you. How do i go about strapping w1 and v1 with U in the middle ?- one from V to U and the other from U to W ?

Very little. A 1ph .5hp motor will be cheap enough and a power switch is £5 from ebay if you don't need to match. If its dual phase a VFD would be good for a pillar drill for speed control

I appreciate its guess work and am very thankful, its been stressing me out the last few days wanting to get it done and on. I have double checked and the terminal readings and correct, V = 1 and W = 2, does the latest diagram still hold if that is the case?

0.01 between the probes I don’t get a reading between the terminals and earth V 1+2 W 1+2 U1+2

With the cap removed and the rest of the wires as they are, resistance values across: U 1+2 =no reading W 1+2 = 01.1 V 1+2 = 02.1

I wouldn't plug in until im certain its correct, this is just how it came. It doesn't have a mains cable/plug connected yet so no worries there

The website doesn't have product manuals or pdfs available for there motors; only compressors, presses etc and none inc wiring information. I tried contact clarke and machine mart and both tried to par me off to there tech teams on cost-per-minute premium #'s. I was hoping someone would have had...

There are pictures of the termials in the post above yours and if you open them to full size i have marked the terminals clearly (y) Ill take a picture of the data plate and cap now

I think its a bit of a stretch to say people like to watch "fake" woodworking so much as people like to watch what they can understand. I quite enjoy rex's channel for instance and for a while i could learn things, i still do occasionally but i still watch because i enjoy the personality and...

NO diagram unfortunately and ive had a look through the product manuals with no much luck. The last link seems to be having issues on the host end but thank you, appreciate the links.This is the motor and switch as they are incase any motor wiz's are able to help
