Kirk G just posted an album on the metalshapers site on his Mustang its starting to real nasty great job so far. Kirk 1 question how many inches is ride hide...
Hi guys, Maybe someone here can answer a few questions for me, I'm having a hard time coming up with the info on my own. I have a 208/230 volt 5hp, single...
you should be able to use 3 number 10's and a 50 amp breaker but you'd have less voltage loss running three number 8's and the same 50 amp breaker. 2...
i believe code may allow you to use the metal conduit as the ground.....at this size circuit. remember the breaker protects the wire not the motor..ideally you...
Yes it has two capacitors mounted under a cove on top of the motor. ... From: Ian To: metalshapers@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, October 01, 2005 2:09 PM ...
Yes, there is a magnetic starter to wire in as well. i believe code may allow you to use the metal conduit as the ground.....at this size circuit. remember the...
Looks like a 1.8 volt drop over 50 feet in a #8 wire and a 2.9 volt drop in a #10. Is that enough to worry about? I'm sure it'd be easyier to pull the # 10...
one more thought...... the 55 amp rating for #10 is in free air they must be derated in a conduit.......i guess i would use 3 number 8's and not have to worry...
YOU ONLY NEED TWO WIRES FOR SINGLE PHASE NOT THREE IF THE CONDUIT THE GROUND ( CHECK CODE) OTHER WISE THE THIRD WIRE CAN BE THE GROUND. the breaker is sized...
I was doing another roof filler and as usual they are a pain for me to do, even the smaller ones like this 34 Ford . For in & out my old e-wheel add on works...
The stand in my last post worked so well that I decided to make it part of my e-wheel. With this setup I can put an assist wheel on one side, or both sides of...
Jim, Once again the fertile mind of Prof. Bailie brings forth a most graceful solution for solo forming! Do you think that the out board tenders would be less...
I'm I understanding this right ? This will make the 550 3 phase motor on my lathe work on 220 single phase . jim From: doug walter <doug_walter2002@...>...
Hey Tim where ya been ? The rear support is the one I need the most, but together they take the sweat out of making big low crown panels. see ya jim From: "tim...
-JB, Garbage in garbage out! that start kit does not change the voltage, your probably going to need to find a 220/240 vac motor for your lathe. 2hp thats a...
Hey John! Use a HCR type circuit breaker, it is the slow blow type(fuse term) 35's are available for some boxes "your luck may vary" You can also drop a size...
I must be missing something here. ;-) 5 horsepower, at 750 watts per HP, is 3750 watts. 3750 watts divided by 208 volts is 18 amps. 3750 amps divided by 230...

John, I thought I needed two hots and a neutral (and a ground) for 220 volt single phase. No? Looks like 3(2?) #8's and a 40 amp breaker will do. It'll be a...
TT I put it where my small lathe was,I just had to move a few things down about a foot. Not much room left in my little shop. I 'd like to change the motor to...
Hi there, It seems the problem is with under size conduit. I though early on I heard of a 50' run. A couple of thoughts. On conduit you are only allowed a...
I just found the manual and it says the motor is wired for 220 volts 3 phase 50/60 cycles .does this info. change anything. thanks jim From: doug walter...
Ron, Yeah, I think I'll have to go to 3/4" conduit at least. John ... From: rnaida1043@... To: metalshapers@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, October 02, 2005...
