Hi to all, especially Eric, Nigel, Mike and too many others to mention.
After a long time away from the workbench through ill health I am finally back to normal, almost.
I have become interested in woodwork again after my son recently expressed an interest in moving into it and as I had some years experience in the field, though a long time ago I decided to dig out my old tools and give him some help and hopefully tuition.
All was going well until I realised I had at some stage cannibalised my table saw and used the motor for something I can't even remember.
I have a brand new 2500w induction motor, single capacitor version that is ideal for the job both size and power wise, I remember the saw was always a little underpowered and you can never have too much power on a table saw so I thought it would be ideal. It came from a damaged return leaf shredder and runs really well and at the right speed for the pulley drive.
The only problem I have is that the starting jolt of the motor is way too powerful and kicks quite a bit which does no good to the drive train.
I need a simple method of getting the motor to start just a little less fiercely if possible but I have no experience with induction motors. I am not even certain what type it is? Capacitor run or start? So is there a foolproof way of telling and a simple way of achieving this?
Thanks for reading my lengthy tome guys.
