Just an observation on the fix
:
I have a Craftsman 12X36 (101.27440). When I replaced the motor,(Baldor) the replacement had a
5/8" shaft with the original having a
1/2" shaft. I tried to bore the original pulley to 5/8". Weellllll, set it up to bore
... ... It was far too small so I ended up replacing it with a larger pulley to get the proper shaft size. I actually cut down a
much too large pulley into one just a
little too big.
The salient point here? It significantly increased the speed of the shaft, such that at the lowest back geared setting, winding a coil (freehand) was a PITA. Any replacement should be checked for size of the pulley as well as the size of the shaft. And an appropriate
corrected speed chart documented.
I'm not so sure you're facing the same problem, but it is something to watch out for.
