Nice video! My old table grinder I inherited from my Grandpa stopped working and didn’t know why. Watched your video and popped the bottom open to gladly find that the capacitor just came unplugged. Works again, thanks!
Thank you for posting this video. I was able to get my old bench grinder back in operation.
My 1981 Hamilco Bench Grinder just went pop and smoked this afternoon... Hopefully i can fix it. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for posting! Very helpful
Thanks for this video. I have an old delta grinder that needs a new capacitor. The only markings are SH cap 8 mfd / 250 volts. Would yours work for me and what type and model did you buy so I can order one as well.
Thank you
Nice video, please where do bought the capacitor?
They no longer make a capacitor for my Delta Shopmaster Can I use a replacement like Black and Decker?
Hi, I need to replace a capacitor in my grinder, the existing one is 4.2 +-5% microfarads, and the closest I can find is 4.5 microfarads, will that cause an issue ? Thanks
I have a 1/2 hp grinder I need to change capacitor..how do I know what type and voltage?
10uf 250wvac on the damage capacitor... good video
Thats all the information needed to find a new one the big thing is to make sure it is a 10uF and that it is rated above 250 volts A/C. something like this should work www.ebay.ca/itm/CBB60-450VAC-10uF-5-Wired-Terminal-Motor-Start-Capacitor-NEW/400564188991?hash=item5d437c773f:g:aDoAAOxyrrpTiZoZ
Isn't that white cylinder thing that you put in supposed to be mounted mine is mounted with one screw
Hey...enjoyed the video...my grinder also has the same issue but I have no idea what to look for...could you explain to me what I need. What is written on mine is...CAP 10uf W.V. 250.AC CBB60-1 HX MF Capacitor....any help would be great. The grinder is a no name from Canadian Tire that they later used Job Mate brand name...if I knew this at the time I would have purchased a good brand name....it has very little use on it.....Thanks
Hi there, glad you enjoyed the video! If your grinder is having the same issues as this one, (won't turn/or turns only when manually started) the capacitor is usually the problem. Make sure the rest of the wiring is intact and check if there is any visible damage to the capacitor. If the capacitor needs to be replaced, you will need is a 10 uF motor running Capacitor. -- www.ebay.ca/itm/Polypropylene-Film-Cylinder-Shaped-CBB60-10uF-Motor-Running-Capacitor-W6U2/123412172789?epid=1869197561&hash=item1cbbf04ff5:g:NXYAAOSwHb9buvmA:rk:9:pf:0 -- will work if it physically fits into the grinder. Hope this helps, if you have any other questions I will help as best I can!
@@selturassoma3242 Thanks for the quick reply...the one you showed me is longer but should fit. Mine popped the side out ... I'll let you know when I get the Capacitors...I'm ordering two..lol...could be a month before I get it....usually takes that long ordering from there...Thanks again....All the best...
@@billbath4534 I look forward to hearing how it goes, good luck!
@@selturassoma3242 Hey finally getting back to you....I ordered two capacitors and never arrived...they resent and only one arrived...there mistake..lol...so now I need your help again....I have a pic of my grinder and the wiring showing....as you can see in the pic, the capacitor wires are pink and black...the new capacitor wire colors are blue and brown....so which color goes with which...lol...the other thing I'd like help with is the rocker switch...which color goes where on the switch...as you can see the colors are pink...black and white..it shows numbers 1 2 3 on the rocker switch....if you could help with this...I'm hoping this will give me back my grinder....Thanks again...have a great day...
Tried adding the pic I was talking about and can't ....
I have an old bench grinder that someone "repaired" before I acquired it. It needs to be completely rewired. It turned on when I plugged it in but the switches did nothing, it just turned on. All the old wiring was badly spliced back together, just left exposed inside the case, and to top it all of it was packed with oily dust and pet hair. I'm just happy it didn't catch fire. I have already taken it apart but I can't remember how it was wired and I dont know much about electronics yet. Can I fuck up the windings if I rewire it wrong? Its ok if I break the capacitor but I don't want to break the grinder.
You will most likely fry the capacitor or trip a breaker before anything else. I would try to look up a wiring diagram for the model of that motor/grinder, and failing that a basic capacitor start motor wiring diagram. Best of luck!
What hp is the grinder?
It unfortunately doesn't say on the plate. But judging by the size it is either 1/4 or 1/2
