KEARNEY & TRECKER
8/8/2023
Its been some time. The motor is in and running. The K&T lives. I've used it a couple of times now. I had it running for about a year now. The replacement motor is smaller so I build a brace for the motor to seat on. This worked out great. It put the motor's pulley in the right spot. I am using a VFD to power the mill. I have it set up to soft start. This spins up the motor slowly to alow the the oil to get moving to allow before the motor is full speed.
It has so much power, I am always fearful of getting something sucked into a cutter. It is great and scary at the same time.
I still have to clean out the the sump. I have what is needed to finish cleaning it out.
