Thanks. Yep I had wondered about this method too. So plus 1 for that idea! A jig shouldn't be too hard to make, which would keep the bit centred on the column...would just take a bit of thought as to...

They are sound. But they are not connected to the keel, and are deforming/collapsing the thin, totally inadequate fibreglass liner they ARE resting on (see attached photos), with the result that the...

Hi all. Hoping someone can give me some advice here. I need to rebuild the mast support structure on my boat, which requires thicknessing these vertical columns flush with the perpendicular plywood...

No it was an induction motor. So how can speed be adjusted if not by (variable) resistors?

Ok. Ive seen someone on youtube, who rigged a standard cheap, secondhand, single phase 4 pole motor, to a small conveyor belt, with some kind of adjustable control knob, which adjusted conveyor belt...

Ok all sorted. Meter showed 220v at T1 and T2, so problem was at motor side...but meter also showed capacitor was operating within specs, which confused me...thought this must mean the motor was...

But why would it have done this? This switch stayed at position 1, (and 0 when I turned saw off from there): I never moved it to START at all....

I still cant test as im away from home. Will do so...

No I agree. Just looks like a repeater switch location to me.....I'll test when I get home, but, if this is the case, why would the capacitor have blown? Once I replace, how can I prevent from...

Oops. Spoke too soon. Saw WAS working as expected, following NCArchers advice; ran for approximately 1 hour, no problems. Even cut some wood! But I turned it on this morning, and it fired up a bit...

Yep thanks NCArcher-that was it. All sorted and works well, even if I do have to walk to front if the saw every time to turn it on:-

Yeah Ok that makes a lot more sense. Will try that and report back. If all else fails, I'll just move the magnetic starter and mount it on the front of the saw.

Hopefully this saw will be...

Ok cant get very clear photos due to limited access to rear of spring return START switch, but here is what there is.

Yes, its a spring return START switch. To give an idea of orientation in the...

Thanks NcArcher! I figured it may be something to do with the three phase configuration, as i know nothing about three phase, and had never seen anything like this before....

One other question....

.....and then theres this pdf circuit diagram (attached), for a different but similar starter, which makes a lot more sense than i do, but STILL doesnt explain the rogue neutral binding post:

Ok. Here are some photos but not that clear....the necessary wires are not connected (or visible) yet, but:

The supply live goes to L1
The supply neutral goes to L3

The L terminals are white,...

Hi. Ive wired single phase 240v motor starter switches before but am confused by this one....

Where the earth binding posts usually are on the side of the switch box, this one has one earth...

How did this go in the end? Am busy doing the same (3ph to 1ph conversion) to my tc12...just waiting on the new motor to turn up, to see if capacitor block on top allows 45deg inclination; may have...

Thanks resolved now through tracking down these pages from manual. For anyone interested, here they are! Am trying to get hold of entire manual....will link to it if successful. I still think this is...

Thanks Pat.

No, but this looks like an updated version of exactly the same saw. Mine unfortunately has a needlessly more complicated drivetrain than this. My motor is connected to a tension...

Hi all,

Ive been trying to restore the above to good working order; nearly there, but there are some ongoing niggles, and i have no manual to work from. If any members have a copy they could...
