Thanks Myforman, that was what was happening initially. I sorted out which wire's supplied the coil and it ram much more quietly! I really should have read the convertor destructions more carefully as that as dwhatthey also say. It seems my 175 has been pimped, not sure how common that is? It...

Thanks Chas, yes wasn't thinking 3 phase. Of course you are right , I need a bigger converter. Just thought it off that it runs and doesn't appear to be self protecting?. Also I wasn't expecting a motor that big, so I kept seeing it as HP( at least that is my excuse). Checked, and the contractor...

Hi, I picked up a decent ex- college 3 phase 175 on eBay. However I assumed my 2.2 KW converter would be ok for it,based on the Alt saws manuals, however, it has turned up with a 2.2/2.5 KW Aesa motor. It will start on my convertor, but runs backwards, I think due to the convertor dropping...

Sorted, thanks Peter. Must remember not to over tax the brain first thing in the morning, took the easy way out, and bought the template. I was planing on just fitting straight section MDF around the redouter plate, and using non 3/4 in radius bit. Should have paid more attention!

Having just seen this I must have missed the fact the Incra insert has 3/4 in corner radius on the plate I have just orderde from Peter. Looks like I'm off to get a 1 1/2 bearing guided cutter, like the CMT or some such ( unless I am missing something?). Time to get choping some MDf to make a...

Cheers for all the advice. I think my dyslexia didn't help it is actually a 626 and was listed as such (doh) still doesn't explain the condition, plus the sellers evasion. I will pursue via Ebay/PayPal.

Thought so! Got a message that He didn't live in the uk and that I will not get a penny back. 100% raiting my #£%& . let's hope eBay front up!

Hi, I have just bought a DW625 on EBay ( I assumed it was a 240V EK). It may marked as 6 months old. It doesn't have the height adjuster knob on the side or the lens for the scale? I have asked for a return on the grounds of 'item as not described' as the only item listed as not present was the...

Thanks Charlie, and Alex from Startrite 352-lower wheel adjustment thread ( can't paste in URL?).Will try the.Carter video from that link and see where that takes me.

Thanks for all the replies. The blades sits with slightly more room behind the blade than in front. This is what surprised me, in that I had to wind the adjuster all the way in. Blade is 90 degrees vertically to the table, horizontally it is angled to the left, about 6 mm left of centre at the...

Hi, I have had a good search, but found nothing that seems to answer my question, so apologies if there is a thread. I recently bought my first bandsaw, a Startrite 301.It appeared in OK shape. A little rust, some chewed thrust bearings and upper guides, but all easily sorted. I installed a...

Hi Malcolm , did you manage to get a Boxford drill? I have just bought and old Boxford PD4 drill in dark green and am searching out the manual, with no success so far. Mark
