Thanks, turned over, I had some pressure in the tank from testing before buying. So I opened the drain valve and it spit out some oily gunk. Seems to run fine. I am not sure where or if there are...

I bought a used Quincy air compressor and laid it horizonal to transport. It leaked a much of oil overnight before I unloaded it. I then Googled transport and realized I screwed up.

So I let...

Julie, thanks for the response. it is hard to read the middle part of the tag, the first part is THER, then a M I think, and the last part is wire. There seems to be two options on is it appears...

I have a Williams propane stove with a Skytech remote thermostat. I know this isn't a workshop question but there are a lot of smart people on this site, so I thought I would take a shot. The wires...

I blow out the motor and that didn't help. Both capacitors look good, however, I did replace one and that didn't fix anything. On a wim I "jumped" the switch (removed the switch and wired the white...

I have had a Craftsman Professional 15 x 42 lathe for about 12 years. It was working fine the last time I used it, however, when I tried to start it today it will not start. Nothing, nada. There...

I have used a lot of them over the years on many jigs, and other projects. I pre-drill everything, they seem to work fine for me and I can get different lengths locally for a reasonable price.

I use a 1.5 hp collector with upgraded pleated filter. I move the hose from machine to machine. I like the looks of the Rockler quick release, however, the reviews of the handle are not good...

New capacitor didn't fix anything. Internet research suggested checking the Centrifugal Switch contacts. I found the switch was loose and had some grease on the contacts. Once cleaned and...

311507311508The Capacitor on the left (SSEC) is from my dust collector, the one on the right is from ebay, are they a match?

Is the start capacitor something I can replace or do I need to take it to a professional? Can I source one locally or on-line?

Thanks

Yes, the impeller spins freely (it did have some turning "curls" on it when I first checked it). All the connections that I could check were tight. Still looking.

It is also tripping the circuit breaker about 20% of the time?

I have replaced the original plug with a higher quality end. I will double check the connections.

I have a Delta dust collector with a 1.5 HP motor. I noticed this morning that the morning is taking 2 to 3 times longer to get up to speed. Is the motor burning out? I have been meaning to wire...

I have a Wynn filter on my 1.5hp Delta. I found that the electric leaf blower does a fantastic job when air is blown from the outside to inside of the filter. Quick also.

All planning to be in the Hartford, Kansas area later this month. Anyone know of any sawmills I should visit? I always enjoy meeting mill owners and knowing where my hardwood lumber came from. I...

Albert, before you worry about collecting all the dust from the sander, I would make sure the collector bags are stopping the small dust. If they are the "filter bags of old" they are passing the...

Vapor barrier shouldn't go on warm side of walls/ceiling?

Great advise. I have been in regular contact with my local inspector since beginning this project. I was mostly trying to maximize space for future use in the panel. In the end I installed...

Sheetrock update. I used Craigslist to find a contractor (Gigs - Labor). Some weird responses but also some serious bids. I ended up getting a contractor on 72 hours notice and he hung 75 sheets...

Jim:

It is pretty humid (for Montana) but mostly the vapor barrier is to meet code (I had no idea there was a national energy/insulation code until I started this project).

I need to put up vapor barrier (so I can insulate the attic after SR), so glue probably isn't going to happen

I left a 1/8 gap as per makers instructions,7/16 OSB on exterior wall. I have watched the gaps swell shut and reopen during a wet/dry winter weather cycle.
