Could be the motor start capacitor as James has said but the motor usually tries to start and then stops it also buzzes too! Have you got more than one motor on your machine, if so it’s unlikely that both capacitors have failed!

Once in a blue moon this happens here. Blowing out the electronics and switches, including under the covers with compressed air has removed dust and seems to have solved the problem.?

Felder Folks,
I used my the Shaper this morning, then switched to saw and it is not starting. I’ve tried:
- Power cycling
- Fuses checked with ohm meter
- Safety switches properly engaged
- Switching from saw to shaper several times
Neither the saw nor shaper will start.?
Any guidance is appreciated.?

Re: How to lift Tannewitz Bandsaw off pallet
Cut the pallet up and remove were you want the Oak skids to go Attach and roll out. Just need a reciprocating saw and ?BFH and pry bar just beet what you don’t want out trash it. Than change the direction after you get it on flat floor in your shop. For this stuff , IT is nice to have toe jacks , solid rollers , 5’ pry bars , machine trollies and on and on?

Re: Seeking Inca #Bandsaw switch
#Bandsaw
Thanks Mark. It is funny about these little Incas. Everyone seems to have affection for them. I got mine for free from the original owner who didn’t want to restore it. Other than the switch problem, it had a horrible wheel wobble and vibration because of a hack job when he hired someone to fix a bad bearing on the top wheel and that guy tried to make his own, which apparently lasted about five minutes. I got a new top wheel and bearings from incamachines.com in France. My needed wheel was not listed on their web page, but I talked to them and they were wonderfully helpful nice people. They had one lying around, listed it on the web page for me, and I had it in my hands a couple of days later fedex from small town France to small town Oregon. Worked perfectly. So, if anyone else is looking for parts not obvious on their web page, just email them. They are delightful people to work with, and even when they didn’t have what I needed, they gave good advice. I hope that helps everyone. But of course they don’t have everything, especially for US models.

Re: Seeking Inca #Bandsaw switch
#Bandsaw
Thanks TJ Cornish. There is a safety interlock, but it appears to have broken a long time ago and the two wire from the interlock are joined to bypass. The former owner inked a note on the cover that the interlock was gone, with a caution to unplug from the wall when taking off the cover (apparently from a bad experience).
Some generic starter set is a backup plan, for sure, if I can’t find the orginal part. I don’t know what electronic functions are buried in those Seimens chips. The incamachine guys referred to it a poor design decision of the late 1980s. Oh well.

Re: Seeking Inca #Bandsaw switch
#Bandsaw
Are there safety interlocks on the machine? If not, any generic magnetic motor starter set for the appropriate motor current should be fine.?

Re: How to lift Tannewitz Bandsaw off pallet
Joe, is there a threaded hole in the upper arm behind the wheel for an eyebolt?? The PH weighs 1800 lbs and supposedly the C frame is thick and reinforced.? Minimum height is listed at 6'9" so you must be close ( 7' doors should be outlawed ).? Dave

The challenge I’m seeing is there is not places I can see to attach straps to.? If I remove the top wheel and brake stuff I could lift from the top of the arm but I’m
not sure that’s strong enough.? I’d really like to work on the machine in the shop and not on the driveway in the sun.? The seller (LA School District) obviously lifted it onto a pallet so there must be a way to lift it off the pallet.? Maybe their lift was
sketchy and most certainly was done with a forklift.? There is a ring on the motor and I’m told that giant 875 RPM 5HP motor weights 350 lbs.? I can’t see lifting the machine from that ring as it’s too low and the machine would rotate.

Hi all, I am back from picking up the Tannewitz I bought on auction.? I'm disappointed that it was a PH 30" and not a 36" but that's a risk I took with the sketchy listing.? At $775 with only one small broken part I think I did ok.? It's in a the bed of a drop
deck trailer out front of my shop. The pallet its strapped to is 6" high making it a couple inches too tall to roll into the shop.? I want to lift it off the pallet and place the permanent oak skids underneath.? I don't see any factory lift points.? ?I'm sure
someone here has done this.? There will be many more questions, the brake system must be non-functional as an electronic brake.? I will want to get that all back to original
