A lot of comments regarding losing torque because Mat used the 1800 RPM motor instead of the 3600 RPM motor. I've done the math and the math proves that the speed and torque at the cutting head is the same no matter which 5 HP motor you use. I've simplified things just a little by using a 1:2 pulley ratio for the 1800 RPM motor and a 1:1 pulley ratio for a 3600 RPM motor, both resulting in 3600 RPM at the cutter. Notice from the math below that with either motor the cutting head speed and torque are identical. This is because the 5 HP, 1800 RPM motor produces twice the torque compared to the 5 HP, 3600 RPM motor. The formula for torque for a given HP is Torque=(HPx5252)/RPM. By the time you get to the cutting head, the torque and RPM are the same. 5 HP, 1800 rpm Motor: Torque at motor shaft: Torque=(HPx5252)/RPM Torque at motor shaft = (5 HP x 5252)/1800 RPM Torque at motor shaft = 14.6 Ft-lbs Ratio: 1:2 **RPM at cutter = 1800 motor RPM x ratio = 3600 RPM **Torque at cutter = 14.6 Ft-lbs / ratio = 7.3 ft-lbs 5 HP, 3600 rpm Motor: Torque at motor shaft: Torque=(HPx5252)/RPM Torque at motor shaft = (5 HP x 5252)/3600 RPM Torque at motor shaft = 7.3 Ft-lbs Ratio: 1:1 **RPM at cutter = 3600 motor RPM x ratio = 3600 RPM **Torque at cutter = 7.3 Ft-lbs / ratio = 7.3 ft-lbs

So, the 5 hp motor designed to operate at 1800 rpm ended up (on paper) as zero net gain over the 3 hp motor but the 3 hp motor when in good operating condition. A free 5hp motor designed to operate at 3600 rpm would have provided double the torque in a dream world because the pulleys on the motor and cutter could have been sized to provide a 1:1 ratio. I’d have done the same thing. Free beats buying a new motor every time.

@@karll.masoner6918 I think you misunderstood Matt in the video. With the old motor, once he switch to the carbide cutting head, he could no longer cut 3/16" per pass like he could with the straight bladed head (carbide head requires more power) . Now that he has the 5 HP motor on there, he can cut 3/16" per pass with the carbide head. So the 3 HP could not cut 3/16" per pass, and the 5 HP can.

As a kid back in the 70's, I worked at a shop that made massive custom wood doors, tables, parts for yachts, you name it. If it was too big for anyone else, we did it. The shop had a 50" in the clear double sided thickness planer with shaping blades. Solid cast made by a T-rex or something. Mounted to what looked like ten coil springs from a one ton truck to the floor. It was well balanced but when it fired up it felt like the building moved. It would probably cost a million bucks to have one made today. Two weeks on the job I was watching a guy with years of working at that shop. One second he had two arms, the next he only had one. Ripped clean from the shoulder. Not near as much blood as you would think there would be. Poor SOB never passed out. I said screw it and went into AC/H&V. Aw the good ole days.

Wiring rotation of the motor. The label says the rotation is when looking at the (Lead) end of the motor. This means the rotation described on the label is when looking at the end of the motor where the wires are. Not the shaft end of the motor where the pulley is. Most motor labels go be the lead end when describing rotation. It’s confusing so why do the do it? They do it because some motors have a shaft on both ends. So they go be the end of the motor where the wires enter. And to keep this a standard, they do the same on single shaft motors.

A minor correction: an AC start capacitor does not hold a long charge like a ‘little battery’; that would be an electrolytic capacitor in a DC circuit. Also if you have a shorted winding (possibly caused by burned insulation) the motor will draw a VERY high current which will cause very similar groaning symptoms. Also mechanical interference between the rotor and the stater (possibly caused by misalignment resulting from excessive wear) will have a similar result.

You should see the INCREASED amp draw under WIDE LOAD. Again you can hire a guy who is very experienced part time, a few days a week that is retired or interested in helping you.

That goopy substance from the capacitor is wax and a sign the capacitor got hot. A capacitor is an extremely thin strip of aluminum rolled up with wax paper bonded to it then rolled up into a roll with tin leads on each end. Then inserted into the can body and sealed on the bottom the leads thru a insulated spacer all of it sealed inside a plastic sleave. If you see wax or aluminum dust the cap is bad. That one most likely failed because that resistor was to close to the seal / lead end and when it heated up it melted the wax causing it to fail. The resistor leads should have been slightly bent up away from the end with a small heat sink attached nounted to the outer case on an heat insulator. I've seen them like that. I just changed several on the chassi board for a Wells Gardner arcade game CRT monitor I'm working on that's in a 25th anniversary Pac Man game. 3 had wax on the board and 1 aluminum dust. This episode is definitely an interesting one Matt. Definitely something different off the normal path for you.

I think the dents in the cover is a sign the capacitor got crushed. That motor never ran so I doubt it got very hot.

The paper sandwiched with the foil is an electrolyte carrier.

Nice job but I agree it would be far easier to buy the matching 5 hp motor, the starter and shroud from grizzly. It would be a good idea to make 4 cover pieces from metal or plywood to reduce the amount of dust getting to the new motor via that new gap you created …presuming the new 5 hp motor from grizzly is comparable in size to your aftermarket motor. I have the same 20” plane with 5 hp motor and elliptical carbide blades. My dust collection isn’t as effective as yours and my planer really cranks out the dust and chips so I’d be concerned about it getting to my motor and causing a fire.

It was reflex to try to catch it, and if your hand shorts the terminals while doing so, it was like touch an electric fence. I remember a genuine accident on the bench across from me where a bunch of big electrolytics in parallel exploded throwing bits of casing and brown paper around the lab. When I think of the stunts we all got up to, it's a wonder no one was seriously hurt. Spinning up a bearing with an airline and dropping it on the ground was a good one. Even having bugger all grip on the concrete floor, the bearing would still be doing a fair old lick by the time it hit the wall.

Matthew, you make this video so entertaining to watch. Not only do we see how to do what you did we also get to see when you make a mistake. If this had been me doing what you did that machine would still be in parts sitting in some corner under wraps...lol As always another fun and enjoyable video. Love the red color, it looks way better than that dull green.

Could there be a new thickness planer in Matt’s future? I think there is! Get something real new, real fancy.

I'd limit the depth of cut to two and a half turns of the handle for a 10 inch wide slab... The motor would definitely prefer only 2 full turns for a slab that wide...

It was spinning backwards because you were looking at it from the shaft end and the label called out the lead end. It's like looking at a clock form the backside, It's still turning the same way but it looks like its going backwards.

Matt, you should always put the cover plate on the capacitor when checking the motor. Those things can go off like a bomb!

Hi Matt, You could have saved a lot of work by cutting the welds attaching the base plates and swapped them over but rewelding the old plate onto the new motor but 90 degrees out of place. This would have allowed refitting the motor using the original base and would leave the start capacitor to finish in a position either behind the motor or in front , where ever there was the most room. Regards Mo. King

please please take care moving that motor -- I have a bad back after years of incorrect lifting and it hurts -- look for some sort of lifting equipment when ever you can

You should fix the mistake and make a new adapter plate. Some of those holes are terrifyingly close to the edge of the plate. That means that they would fail .... eventually.

Matt, when something doesn’t work, is the laugh in place of swearing? I would need to swear.

I used to work in a large shop that did refurbishment of a large variety of industrial equipment. Customers would come in with a job like this and want a quote. The quote was always a clusterph*ck. In the end, the customer was irate, that it took a month to do the job, and that they got it back not exactly as they had hoped.
