Thankyou you answered my questions about electric motors rotation and i enjoy all your videos especially the chainsaw fixes.

Splendid, thanks for the comment, subscribed? cheers

Well done Andy saved me lots of messing about nice one cheers

[@TheInfoworks]

Brilliant, cheers

Great video, Andy. I'm currently working to change rotation on a Craftsman motor I'm setting up for buffing on one end and large wire wheel on the other. The exhaust/cooling exit air is rather strong so naturally I want the "blow out" to be at the back instead of the front, being that I don't want to wear buffing compound head to toe. :) Thank you

[@TheInfoworks]

I hope it all goes well, if not can you turn the motor around? cheers

[@massimobroccoli9854]

I learned something today !

[@TheInfoworks]

Excellent, that makes it worth while, cheers

[@BensWorkshop]

Thanks for that. Very useful.

Thanks for the appreciation, I have many other fix it videos, subscribed? cheers

I have a 110 v sanding floor machine that I wish to convert to run on both 1110 and 240 do you know where I could find instructions to do this, please?

[@TheInfoworks]

Hi, you would need a 240 to 110 transformer, cheers

I went through this with an AEI motor when I wanted to fit a reversing switch to run the lathe chuck backwards - useful for winding a tap back out rather than by hand :o) My Myford manual shows motor wiring terminal names for several different motor makes, and nearly all use different labels for the windings, and in one of your motors, there are no labels at all ! Confusing...

[@TheInfoworks]

Dave it was fortunate that I had that other motor in the pile of misc. motors. That made the experimenting easier. It seems this exra motor has a bent shaft and I am not sure what to do about that. Maybe I could take the pulley off and then mount the motor on my lathe bed and then turn the shaft true under its own power. Cheers, Andy

[@noakeswalker]

I noticed the bent shaft Andy - you could take the rotor out and see whether you could hold it in the chuck at one end, then somehow fit a lathe steady in where the bearing sits right behind the bend - or use the motor bearing itself as a steady if it's a good one maybe (the bearing might not come off anyway due to the bend of course !) and then see if the rotor is held firmly enough to attempt to true the bent shaft ? Might be difficult to mount the complete motor true enough on the lathe to turn it under it's own steam.... whatever you do, video it will you ? :o) Dave
PS. all of the above is probably obvious to you, and anyone with any lathe knowledge actually....but I thought it would be interesting to add these thoughts and maybe encourage someone else with a better idea out into the open.

Rotation is always from opposite end of shaft extension. So opposite from what you said.

How is double capacitor connection

[@TheInfoworks]

Hi, to increase the value of a capacitor another can be linked in parallel, See part 2 of my running a 3 phase motor on single phase supply (there is a playlist) subscribed? cheers
