    Electric Motor Runs backwards, Cap OK

    Hey Compositepro, Your comment worked perfectly. The motor is back together and running perfectly, in the correct direction :) Thanks for your help! Thank you to the rest of the posters as well! I appreciate the assistance.

    Sounds good. I'll get to it tonight or at the latest, this weekend. I'll post my results. Thanks!

    Electric Motor Runs backwards, Cap OK

    Not possible with this setup, and certainly not worth the hassle on this bandsaw. This is a 9" Craftsman benchtop model. I'm really fixing it in the hopes of selling it or handing it off to someone in my family who needs it. I've got a 14" Jet on a floor stand for myself. I'm looking for...

    Electric Motor Runs backwards, Cap OK

    It was a castaway from my work. They used it for a few years and then the blade guide broke on it. It sat for a few more years and then they decided they didn't want the hassle of fixing the blade guide so they replaced the whole saw. Based on what they say, it never had any problems before...

    Replacing Dangling Offset Sketch entities

    Thanks for the comment. I think I'm resigned to fixing it the hard way. I have come up with a slightly better work around, which is to create a sketch immediately before the current one in the history, convert the entities that I had originally offset. Then offset them the proper distance...

    Replacing Dangling Offset Sketch entities

    Hi All, I've got a fairly complicated sketch which contains a number of offset sketch entities. Unfortunately I needed to make some modifications to the geometry earlier in the history and the offset entities lost their references. I have had success before simply re-directing dangling...
