    I took your advice and just tried it on a 20 A, 220 V circuit. I did turn the magnetic switch overload protection to about 19-20 A, which is only slightly below the motor rating of about 21A. It...

    It is a home application and I do not anticipate putting the motor under much load. It is running a planer that is often equipped with a 2 HP motor, so 5 HP is overkill. I will probably have en...

    Motor rating and circuit

    I have a new (old) tool that has a 20.5-21.5 A 205-230 V motor. It is a continuous duty motor with a nominal 5 hp rating. I assume it need to be plugged into a 30 A 230 V plug rather than the 20 A,...

    Thank you for the ideas. Erik, I was going to remove the middle seats on my Honda Odyssey and use winched straps to secure the planer to the seat mounts. They should provide a good restraining...

    Thank you for the advice. I did not see pieces I wanted in the current stock, but I will go back and look. I am not sure how much I should be paying for good wood.

    There are no forest in Southern California, so I do not expect to find local mills. There is a very nice hardwood supplier, but it seems expensive: I priced out 8/4 cherry at $ 5.85 bf, and the...

    Use one of the de-rusting products people have suggested and then douse all the surfaces with that bucket of cosmoline.

    I assume the delta part is the lower one in the picture. Can you just add a 7 MM spacer to the roller to provide a proper distance for the mount? You could get a machinist to make something that is...
