Need Beginner's table saw
Comments (30)My work shop shares my garage with two vehicles and a boat. I have a 1968 sears table saw 113 2990301. It has a 10" blade, a dado blade, and a cast iron table. It also has the side wings that was offered by sears when it was purchased. Depending on the position of the side wings I can cut a 48" plywood. I use it for general around the house cutting projects, and make a lot of picture frams with mitered corners and rabbits for the picture. I would not trade it for some of the cheap stuff they are selling to day. It is on a base with wheels, and is complemented by my work bench which is also on wheels and is the same height as the saw. I can move it so it works as set up table for the saw, or reposition it for an out feed table. I have ripped 10' board by my self with the set up. My primary use is making mitered corners on picture frames. I have used it to make some minor furniture, and trim projects in the house. Your concerns seems to be price therefore I would look for one of these saws. They can be found on Ebay for a couple of hundred. You may want to spend another couple of hundred for a good blade, dado bladed, miter gauge, etc. I have a solid 45 miter guage that I use for miter corners for the picture frame. http://www.ebay.com/bhp/sears-table-saw Since this basic table saw was sold by Sears for many years parts are available both from places like Ebay and Sears parts store. My dad's table saw nearly identical to my 1969 saw was from the early 1950's PS: when I wrote the above I did not realize that the original post was 10 years old. I don't know why it appeared as a post with new replies....See MoreApproximately how hot would a 1 HP electric motor get
Comments (15)I got some experimenting and inspecting done today and none seemed favorable IMO. The good part is a 220V receptacle (for a backup AC) is arms reach from the 110V with 12 or 10 ga wire. A 110V could be placed on the Ext Back-To-Back off the 220V. Running the splitter on 220V would be better (from what I saw amp wise) except it's not always handy at that location. Observations:(1HP Farm Duty Motor showned at Northern Tools) 1. The amp meter showed the motor drawing about 9 amps turning just the pump w/o a load. 2. The amp meter showed the motor drawang about 18 amps or just below splitting a 12" dia log. 3. The motor is sealed. How is a fan helping a sealed motor? My guess is like a sealed body. 4. Dose the 2 draws sound about normal? How does this work under a load if it is rated 13.2/6.6? Is this marginal if monitored since I just noticed in 3 yrs the heat issue "working in heat" ? 5. Should I consider a heavier wired receptacle for the splitters avg 10, 2 hr jobs per season? Thanks In Advance!...See Moresizing of "run capacitor" for table saw motor needed
Comments (3)Assuming that Sears cannot provide that information, then there are a few approaches, none of which leads to the-bigger-the-better. a) Measure the inductance and resistance of the winding the capacitor feeds and calculate the capacitance that will produce some phase shift suitable for the type of motor (PSC induction, I presume). An ideal 90-degree phase shift is probably not realizable with adequate current flow, and there is some other design value that I expect is normally used. This can probably be searched out on the www. b) Try different sizes using an dual input oscilloscope to observe the phase shift. A test under load is probably warranted. Unless the scope is dual differential, be sure to isolate the scope from ground, connect power neutral to the common, and be careful . c) Trial and error. You want rapid start, but too large a capacitance and the motor may sound bad. Too small and it won't start. If the cap is a bit too small, you won't be able to supply much power under load. I would start small and work up. I have a three phase motor that I run on single phase to generate three phase power to a smaller motor. I used the trial and error approach to select the starting capacitor (the capacitor is only used momentarily so it is not so critical). You must use an ac motor cap and not a dc polarized cap. When you think you have the solution, check for abnormal capacitor temperature and motor temperature. kas...See MoreCrafsman or Rockwell Delta Table Saw
Comments (14)The places cabinetmakers get plywood do not offer cutting service (in my experience). I think being able to handle and cut a 4x8 sheet is a must for any cabinetmaker's table saw set-up. Sure, Lowes or HD sells shop grade ply in birch or oak for about $50 a sheet and they'll cut it for $0.50 a cut. But why limit yourself to the box stores? I get most of my material at a place called Aura Hardwood Lumber in San Jose, CA. It is a one of a kind establishment serving cabinetmakers from all over the Northern CA. I drive 50 miles to go there, when there are about 100 box stores closer. The prices are wholesale- the $50 sheet at HD cost $30 at Aura, and there are so many species and grades to choose from. Every cabinetmaker needs to find the Aura in their area. Do some homework; ask other woodworkers. As important as having the right equipment is knowing where to get the right material. But if you need all your ply's cut in half before taking them, you can't even shop there. If you don't have a truck or van to transport materials, how can you even get started? Not being able to cut a full 4x8 sheet on your tablesaw is like not having the right vehicle. You would need to pay some decent $ to get a truck or van. Same thing with a tablesaw. Buy a $1,500 cabinet saw and you will never regret the purchase, nor will you ever need to upgrade it. If you are saying, "$1,500 is not in my budget" then think of it like a truck. If you need a truck you need a truck, you have to find the budget for it, or forget about doing the things you need a truck for. You can't just buy a used sedan and call it a truck. Same thing with buying a table saw for making cabinets. Also keep in mind, if you can save $20 per sheet by shopping at a wholesale place like Aura, after 75 sheets the saw will pay for itself!...See Morecastoff
