It runs everything fine even the 30" bandsaw and 18"planer, I do have to have another motor idling to improve the electrickery for the big stuff. I recently noticed an issue when using my lathe which is only 1.5hp. I have found it bogging down quite easily and can here the boost coming on the static. I've had the static for over 6 years and know what settings it likes for each machine. Could the capacitors for the setting used for the lathe be on their way out?
wallace wrote:Thanks as always Bob, The weird thing is it doesn't seem to affect it when I use it on its highest setting with the big bandsaw. I was cutting some 10"logs up for fire wood and it was fine. It did loose some magic smoke a couple of years ago when a capacitor went all sparky.
Maybe its a bit tired because its about 28 year old
