Fish, I had one of them saws. Scrapped it when the worm reduction gears wore out. Parts are no longer available. Good saw while the gears last...

I don't think it was a Sears if it had worm gear reduction
At least I have never seen one with any kind of reduction.

If that is a capacitor start motor, The one I had was. You can't slow it down, it will burn out the motor.  Muggs   :-\

The motor needs to have brushes to use a router speed control.
I'm not sure but maybe you could use a VFD.

I am pretty sure the craftsman motor is a brush motor on the raidial arm.  Now the motor that was on my compressor and was on the jointer needed start copasitors.

Yep, the rotor is direct and it does have brushes. I don't have to slow it down due to being able to get a stone that is rated with higher rpms. ;D

Thanks K for your help. ;D

Well it look like I did something right.
My roof is taking the 23 inches of snow so far.
We are calling for some rain next week.
I guess that will really test it's weight limit.

I am glad it is holding up but sorry you have to be testing it. :laugh:

PS like always, thanks for the pictures.

I never before had to make a building that the rear legs
needs to hold up the whole building. Over the years I have
built a lot of building but nothing like this. I don't know how
to judge how much weight 3 I-beams can hold being that it
is the only load-bearing wall . The beams are 6" x 3/8" thick.
I stuck 3 pipes under the roof in the front just for the winter.

Update....

30 minutes after I posted this there was an explosion
outside. My neighbors pole building just went down. He just got
home and it was not 10 minutes after he got out of his NEW car
the whole thing came down. The car you see in the picture is the
company car that he drives for work. The roof is smashed and the
front windshield is broken on that car but his new car is inside under
everything. I crawled under the roof to check out the car. The roof
is smashed in but no broken windows. I'm betting both are totaled.
Third picture is the NEW car under the roof.

That is a terrible way to get snow off your roof.

I've never seen or heard of one collapsing like that before.  Old barns with rotten roofs, yeah, but not a pole barn building that's being used.  Can you see what broke first?  Was is a truss which then led to the other trusses snapping all at once?  I can't believe that one of the supporting poles would actually buckle but I suppose it's possible.  Hopefully homeowners and auto insurance was on these.

Looking at the lack of snow on the Min vani and on the ground around it, its seems that it used to be under the roof structure.  It appears to have fallen over as a unit - the posts bracing just gave up.  The post on top of the van looks like it was standing on this side of it.

I have seen metal joisted roofs just collapse cause the metal is perfectly strong untill it starts to bend but once it starts there is a chemical or heating action where it really weakens fast.

Three years ago we had larger amounts of snow than usual and hundreds of buildings ended up collapsing under the load.  Most of them being modern pole sheds but several houses that were being lived in and couple trailer houses.  From what I heard even though many of the buildings had insurance most weren't covered because the insurance companies said lack of maintenance was the cause.  Basically they said since the snow wasn't a one time thing they had plenty of time to remove the snow from the roof before it caved in and since they didn't it was their fault.  In a case like your neighbors where the snow came down in one event i doubt the insurance company could make that claim.

Here we have seen a few pole buildings go down almost all had white roofs . Because of our snow load and cold winter with no warm ups on a white roof the water will be running off the eves befor it will slide . My brown roof's slide at least 2 times a winter . Also don't put a 1000 feet of lumber up in the rafters .

Kbeitz do you own any flat ground other than what you made that way .

Nothing except my lower valley. I'm the one that cleared that.
My father said the ground was good for nothing because it was
always wet. After the grass started growing it kinda dried up.
At first you could not drive on it but it gets better every year.

It's about 1/3 bigger than the picture but I don;t have a better shot.
This is the valley that I live in...
