Powermatic 1150 VS Drill Press Rebuild. HELP

[Myk Rian]

No suggestions on off-the-shelf paint, though I'd think you'd be able to find something close on a website someplace.

Yahbut, he's looking for mustard, not pea green in this case. And it sounded like he wants a spray can too, though there are ways around that.

Van, thanks for the bearing source. Scott Redmond recommended that I get the belt from Motion Industries - there is a location locally, but not being a regular customer they stick it to you. I hope to find an off the shelf match for the paint - cheaper. I may repaint my PM66 table saw and PM30B sander and it would be nice to have cheap and easy paint. I hate to do it, but my HVLP may see some action - it is easier to rattle a can.

Kirk, Sounds like you have a REALY nice PM DP. I have a wire brush, never used a braded one. I will give it a try.

Myk, thanks for the link. It has the green formula in industrial paint, and the metallic yellow is the 80s paint which is now on my DP - I do not particularly care for that color. Maybe I should get Scherwin Williams to color-match my PM 201 planer (which is PM's current color) in an industrial enamel paint and post the formula on OWWM and here.

Kirk, I like clean and easy - hence my spray can search. Can you elaborate on how you would get around an easy to use rattle can? Thanks

It just hit me you can probably get mustard from PM in a rattke can but the prices would be "parts" prices so probably in the $10 a can range maybe more with shipping. The only PM color that can be found close in a rattle can is the Evergreen, which also happens to be my favorite PM color but actually Mustard is second, the only PM color I don't like is the old pea green UNLESS it is on a "perfect" survivor machine like the PM141 I saw last month, it look almost majestic in its almost "as from factory" original state, wish thay hadn't wanted so much for it and I would have another PM 141!

Van, PM wants $15 a can for their mustard. With shipping the can would cost at least $20.

Catepillar yellow by Valspar seems to be close match.

A guy posted on another wood site saying, " I found Rust-Oleum Farm Equipment Yellow in my hardware store and it is a very close match. If I make clean mask-off lines and finish a surface I can't tell the difference." I will confirm his claim when I find a can of it.

I am trying to match to my PM 201 planer that is nearly 10 years old - it may have faded some.

Catepillar yellow by Valspar seems to be close match. A guy posted on OWWM that he taped a square on the paint of his PM machine and test painted Rustoleum Farm Equipment Cat Yellow in the taped defined area. He claimed when he took the tape off it was a perfect match. I have not been able to find that color locally yet.

Good to know I may try to get some of that Rustoleum at some point. I had saved a shipping braket that was oversprayed with mustard from one of my machines to take to match if/when I needed some mustard, the Rustoleum would be a cheaper/easier solution.

Larry, I want you to understand I wasn't questioning your info, I was just curious if he was suggesting a line or load reactor because I wanted to know what the "real" experts thought! I have read lots of people (some very knowledgable) suggest using smaller VFDs in certain appplications like this one, on one hand it makes perfect sense due to the application AND even more because the single belt drivetrain Jerry was considering would never be able to load the motor to its full capacity without slippage. In reality the difference in the price of a the lower cost 1hp drives vs 3hp drives isn't that much but if someone had access to a surplus or free smaller drive it is good info to consider. Thanks for the info!

Van, I took no offense in any way to your comments. After rereading what I had said, I can see why you might have thought I did. I really do know next to nothing about VFDs. The only reason I even posted to this thread was the fact that he had a Baldor motor, and I thought I could provide some extra info about it. And to offer at least a link to someone here at Baldor who could offer advice.
Oh, and BTW: What is that thing on your face?????

I just wanted you to know I wasn't being a butt head, sometimes the way I express ny curiosity sounds more like I am trying to be authoratative as opposed to curious.

The things on my face are goggles and a high altitude oygen mask, I have used oxygen when climbing above 26,000 ft I am unfortunately not one of the supermen who could climb 8,000 meter peaks without "supplemental Os".

Anybody know where to get a vBelt for the 1150VS?

You also be able to take the old belt to most any auto parts stores and match it up.

One of these may be it... Without knowing your original part number it's hard to say for sure.
