Here is a way I figured out how to mount the limit switch. The switch is mounted on a flat stock (in this case a piece of plexiglass I had) and just a screw into a nut in the top rail. The edge of the plexiglass is where the switch opens to stop the motor. Since this switch has an arm that is a

Hello Joe I understand your concerns over the WC and the motors, (time is money.) but If you get a chance to try it, I highly recommend using a spindle motor as well as the drive motor at the same time.(no gears attached.) If you are looking at a quality finish on a spindle before roping, both mo

Hello Dewell, I don't think there is any way to "Persuade" them to do anything. Everything is on their time schedule. Calling them 10 times a week will not help, it will only piss them off, and that is understandable. Pre-paying does not change the time schedule. I'm afraid your only choice
