I think Dan's first reply is salient and I had already decided to NOT use the cable. After all it's NM and not UF and I'm uncomfortable having the water migrating so far into the coil.
Thanks,

The piece I used was about 50 ft. into the "reel". Don't have access to a Meg Ohm and, although the moisture shouldn't be able to get into the two insulated wires, I would rather scrap it than have...
The GC on my new country house construction left 200 feet of "slightly used" #12/2 with ground NM (indoor type) that I believe they had as a cable from the temporary service to the house last winter....

I have 3 of different vintages - 2 are nearly straight and one is greater (less curve) than 3" radius. I guess it depends on how aggressive a cut you like or want to take.

I am a little late in responding, but I think you're on the right track, but could reduce your fixture count. Doing a quick and very rough calc, using a typical 2 lamp F32T8 industrial shop fixture...
Is the motor single phase or 3 phase? Generally, a FLA of 21.5 at 230V would indicate single phase. Remember that the circuit breaker protects the wire, not the device (motor, whatever). A 30 amp...
That is most impressive.
+1 on M.L.Condon in White Plains. I've bought white and red oak, maple (figured and plain), butternut (love working that), and more exotics like cocobolo, ebony, rosewood and real mahogany. I...
Why are you replacing the original one? Did it fail?
There are those that say the IEC type motor starters are not as reliable as the NEMA type with specific heaters. All I can say is our...
Looks like darker heartwood grain and pitch pockets to me.

Stephen - Not Ben, but I would certainly like to see your 3-up jig.

You should also check the affiliated vintagemachinery.org site, especially the Wiki Knowledge Base. You will also get multiple opinions on every detail, but you might also want to read the urethane...
Jerry, I am most impressed with your shop layout and the semi or totally dedicated use of refurbished machines. I have seen other setups with two saws sharing an island and a Bies, but I don't think...
+1 on Condons.
As most others have said, you need to take advantage of the opportunity and relocate the PM66 to your garage/shop, Hard to believe, but I actually gained space replacing my Rockwell/Delta 10"...
Those are two VERY impressive restorations, especially fabbing your own part from the dead but not forgotten handsaw blade. The original 1400 motor "starter" arrangement was particularly...
Justin, you can't ask for much more than that. Unless the saw has something broken (trunnion, etc.) that sounds like a fair price to me. I paid $400 for a 1985 w/1.5HP motor 2 years ago. No 240V...
Are the existing lights all one circuit or switch? If so, do you need them all on? You could wire them to two switch legs to help reduce the load. I agree with Scot - you should only pull about...
Indeed they are. July 2012 is the manufacturer's cutoff date for all but a very few F96T12 HO lamps. Philips lists the F96T12/DX/HO/EW 95 watt Daylight Delux 6500K, F96T12/DX/HO 110 watt Daylight...
Maybe you would be better served by a shaper.
I have 5 or 6 Sargeant planes & really like them. The casting is heavier than the equivalent Stanley by about 20%. The extra weight is a plus in my view.
T8 fixtures use an internally different lamp holder (socket) that has a shunt. You might be able to pick up replacement sockets at a "real" electrical distributor but probably not at HD.
I agree with Van. Picked up a Craftsman 12" with a C'man 1/3 HP motor, no base, for $25 thru CL. The PO said his father in law had cleaned it up, but it looked nearly new, considering it's a...
I am sure that viewing, scanning and posting is very time consuming. But please, please show us your work. It is very inspirational and an education in what can be achieved, even to a gross amateur...
