Burned out motor Delta 14-651 Mortiser |

Hello All,
I was cleaning up my Delta 14-651 Mortiser over the weekend as I have not used it in a while. I figured I would turn it on and let it run for a while and when I turned it on, it was making an odd noise. I cannot really describe it. After a few minutes, the noise went away so I did no think any more about it. After about 5 or 10 minutes of running, I noticed a slight odor and then I heard the motor start to slow down. The motor did not stop completely but I noticed when I tried to apply resistance to the chuck that the chuck was slipping and the engine was not apply much torque.
I am fairly sure the engine is friend. I looked online to see what a 1/2 HP motor would cost and the pricing is ridiculous. I saw pricing from $300 and up. A new mortise is only like $400. Has anyone replaced a motor in the 14-651 with a non-Delta brand of motor that is reasonably priced? Anyone have ideas for options on what to do? I have already considered binning it...
I like Delta but I have to say, I have not used the mortise a whole lot but I have had it for a few years now. I would be surprised if I used it for more than 3 or 4 hours. I doubt I will buy another Mortiser as I hardly used this one.
Thanks, Bill

Property Brothers jealousy |

I watched an episode of Property Brothers, and one of the brothers was doing a demo in the bathroom. He used a pry bar and hammer and the 12" x 12" ceramic tiles popped off with a single blow. You could see four blobs of thinset in the corners, but nothing elsewhere.
By contrast, I am doing a demo in my 1950's hall bathroom. The entire house is plaster over metal lath. The wall tiles are metal lath and (?) concrete (?). My tiles do not pop off. The have a death-grip on the wall. I gave up on the hammer and prybar technique after just one hour and about 20 tiles (5" x 5").
Instead I got a Harbor Freight hammer drill with a wide chisel. A lot of noise, a lot of dust but the tiles come off. Then I need to use the chisel to chisel away the metal lath between the studs and roll that up and toss it. After that I have to attack the thin strip of lath that remains on each of the studs.
Oh, and the lath is loaded with concrete so it does not cooperate very much.
I have not started on the floor yet, but I did so on the half bath. The porcelain mosaic tile is so hard that sparks flew when chipping away. That was another challenge.
At times like this, I kinda wished that the builder had cut some corners so my demo would go easier.
Oh, and this is going to take several weeks because I did not order a dumpster and I can only put about 75 or 80 pounds of debris in my trash can each week. This week the cast iron sink took up most of that 75 pounds.

WTB incra miter express or 5000 |

Anyone have an incra miter express or 5000 just taking up space gathering dust in your shop? I have an old Craftsman table saw (1949) and the miter gauge slots in the table are not only different on each side, but different distances from the blade. they are 2 and 11/16 on the left side and 4 and 3/16 on the right. If yours has more stock on the sled than that, I think it may work to have enough left for a new zero clearance cut. In other words, I need everything but the miter gauge. which I have.
thanks, Captjack

Alert if GFCI trips? |

I have not GFCI in my basement. Further, my basement is wet. There is a sump pump. I put a dehumidifier down there this week. I set it on a couple of cement blocks.
I would like to put a GFCI on all the basement circuits (I think there are three). What is the best way to set up an alert system, so that if the GFCI trips, I know about it, and can react?
Thanks.
