Casting a new part for an old motor
I was replacing bearings on the motor for a bandsaw restoration project. The bandsaw is a 1957 delta wood and metal.cutting model. It has a 6 pole ac motor that runs around 1200rpm. It also has a centrifugal switch to disconnect the starter winding when it gets up to speed. I clumsily broke a little plastic part of the switch while replacing the bearings in the motor.
Went to the motor shop, the replacement part was almost $100usd. Apparently 1200 rpm isn't all that common. I decided to make my own aluminum replacement part out of melted down beer cans. Recycling and all. I have attached a few pictures and a link to a short video of the process.
