Thread: Baldor Bench Grinder wont get to speed
17/12/2018 08:01:13
I opened the motor last night. Not good news. It appeared that the motor had been on fire at some point in its past. The lacquer on the wire was black and crumbled off with the slightest touch. I think the machine may have ground its last cutter... For now :D

I haven't been near it last night ill strip the machine down tonight and see if I can get any photos.

I have thoughts about just using the casing and putting in a dc motor I have lying around if the motor is FUBAR. I certainly can't go having it rewound.

The speed gets up to the 1700 within a few seconds and sits there happily. I was thinking it is perhaps not throwing the run winding contactor? If it has one? There are also two wires coming out of the bottom of the grinder with ceramic contact blocks on i figured these were for a capacitor but the grinder runs to the same speed with and without one.

I have been given a nice old Baldor bench grinder. When powered up it only runs up to 1700 rpm instead of the stated 2850. Its a nice machine and it would be great to get it running. Any thoughts? I have spoken with Baldor and they have no record of it.

Thread: Help rebuilding and modifying an ml4
25/09/2016 23:50:20
I have recently bought an ml4 to replace a Chinese lathe. Bought it as one that had been restored only to find that a lot of corners have been cut. Im on the lookout for parts or unserviceable lathes to get parts off. If not any ideas on what would be good modifications and how to make it a better lathe.
