Dave McManaman Posted February 20, 2022 Author Share Posted February 20, 2022 Ordered some new rubber feet for it since the old ones were dried out and flattened on the bottom side, leading to a lot of vibration transfer. Still need to do some blade balancing. IMG_8090.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave McManaman Posted February 20, 2022 Author Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) Tested it out at 120v. As it sits, again with a little blade balancing needed, it reads as follows on the three speeds: Tested amps - 0.21, 0.30, 0.42 Tested watts - 14.9, 26.0, 40.0 Highest temp > 20 mins = 84F Edited February 20, 2022 by Dave McManaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Borg Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Hi Dave- Where did you order the rubber feet from. Mine is missing these. Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks... Not sure if I'm technically correct in application but I'm just using panel hole grommets - 5/8" OD, 3/16" ID, 3/8" panel hole, and 1/4" groove width. Hopefully, they'll work - we'll see when they get here. Would have preferred McMaster-Carr but picked them up through Zoro online. I've ordered grommets from them before. Can get a pack of 25 or 50 cheap w/o getting killed on shipping or having to order bulk. If they fit OK on mine and you'd like a set, let me know and I'll mail them out no charge. No sense in getting a bunch if you won't use them. Edited February 21, 2022 by Dave McManaman 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
