Eball tool repair 101

Today Ted and Frank began work on the table saw. Table saws here are 3hp 3phase motors, and a blade on a spindle. the equivlent to a grinding wheel. no height adjustment no tilt and a piece of wood clamped on as a fence. We then added a fence made of angle iron Ted and frank just about ave it together

The we also found a huge box of routers belt sanders, drills, and skill saws. most of which were wired with zip cord or worse and it seams that plugs are found upon it works better to just shove the wires into the outlets. I did find a few plugs rewired on of the welders, and got the drill press up and running. the rest of the tools we went through scavenge other broken stuff to get Brushes, new cords, and plugs. expelling that if you could see bare wire it was bad and if not you need as much tape as the wire is thick, strain reliefs are important and to wrap a scrws around terminals the direction the screw turn. so all in all out of 4 belt sanders turned into 1 and about 3/4 of the other tools in working order and the rest were malo motor, malo faja,

more tomorrow we need the band saw and Ed just asked for a wild boar a set of spears and a large Calderon with a fire inside, and there is the set stay tuned
