My auto clutch has worked flawlessly all these years, and yesterday it tripped the circuit breaker.  I took off the cover, didn't look too close, cleaned out the sawdust and reset the breaker and it worked for the rest of the day.  At the end of the day I put the cover back on and this morning it tripped the breaker again.  I take the cover back off and look close.  An electric motor with small pully and a gear box with a large pully.  Nice design, have a rotation of gear box in to tension drive belt the out to release.  OOPs the gear box pulley has walked out enough to rub the cover and trip the breaker.  Nice easy small fix, allen wrench and a hammer tap.

Did I ever say WOODMIZER is well designed??????? :P

yes that fix was easy, but now I find I have once again broken the main cylinder pin location on the blue ox.  Thanks that one of my best customers is Lawton welding, they will be here wed morning to grind and weld.
