Bluechip:
Almost invariably the LOWER  value.   :thumbup:

( There is more than one way to wire a cap. start / run motor   :hammer:  depending on the whim of the designer, or what he was smoking at the time ...  :palm: ... but that is generally true ).

If it were me as you have had problems in the past I would dump the single phase motor get a three phase motor with a suitable VFD .

The motor supplied may be of a poor quality , you may repair it only to have it fault again


With the above setup you will have a variable speed drive and a much smoother one to boot which equates to a better finish

1ph induction motors are a pain in the but I spent a year during my aprentiship doing armature and sator winding along with what Bluechip knows I did 😀

But it's you machine and your wallet so the final choice is yours

Reading on the net here and MEM the motors supplied on Chester branded goods seem to have there fair share of problems

I second what Stuart said.....

I swapped out the 1ph motor in my Chester 9x20 for a 3 ph equivalent and an inverter....wiring was easy to cobble together after a bit of drinking thinking time....
Never looked back....in fact Indid the same with my Eagle30 mill and my Ajax mill which is now sporting a new motor and a repaired by merefurbished 0.4kw inverter....

No time today but did put the meter on the mains again, and yet again volts are OK..

***dump the single phase motor get a three phase motor with a suitable VFD .***

this i would love to do BUT...i would not have a clue where to start...only ever worked
with 80 to 110 volts DC in comms...Ow! and interrupted/alternated DC for ringing...Now that DOES bite.
Can i get a whole package with distructions? and pretty pictures for the simple of mind?
Lyn.
Ow! and where from, as you can see i know nothing about such stuff..

John Rudd:
I'd start with a 1.5 hp motor. I guess its going to be a frame 90 size and should just bolt strategy ght on.Followed on with a 1.5 hp inverter and a small control pod for speed and direction control.
If you can follow a simple schematic, all well and good....Pricewise, I think it can be done for under £300.....( how much?? :coffee: :coffee: :lol:)
