There is no need to oversize the vfd. If it’s single phase input it will put out rated hp. The derating thing is out of date. This is with quality,...

I can’t help with the foot brake question. However I did install a vfd with properly sized braking resistor on my 3hp Colchester Student and it works...

I would bore a press fit for the round part of the shank in a piece of round bar and press the tap into it or buy a pulley tap. If you do the hole in...

My 2003 Tundra has 340,000km on it with original starter, 2012 Tundra has 295,000 on original starter and the op didn’t need a starter either.

I just got a response fron hydro testing facility here. Quote $120 CAD. I think that is reasonable for the tank I have, 80 gal horizontal tank with Quincy...

Those flywheel cracks are only covered up. That sort of repair is pointless. Much like this thread and this post....

They could coat them after welding the way they do for crude oil piping and tanks. It’s probably some sort of epoxy, sandblasted before coating. They...

Hey Bodger
This is the kind of bs shill post I was referring to

[Captain K]

If it were me I would torch a blank out of large blind flange. I have a yard full of oilfield junk. Maybe you can find a plate drop somewhere nearby?

Bodger
