1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

sitting in the garage at the farm trying to find parts for it.

 

What you need?

 

an m121 engine.

 

I’ve got a pretty chunky commercial unit now, thank you though haha. You should get it for yourself, it’s indispensable for automotive work.

Here is the progression of all my blast cabinets over the years.

 

It's possible those 4 bolts won't come out cause they're the length of the motor and there are captive nuts on the inside of the front face (alot of smaller 120v motors do that to keep all the pieces together) rhey could be seized in the stator due to corrosion

I would attempt to spin the motor slowly by hand and see if you can feel or hear the click in one particular spot. If you can, then it's most likely the fan and I'd say fuck it. If not, or if it feels kinda grindy then it's probably a bearing on the rotor starting to fail

 

Feels like it's really grinding; resistance (and noise) coming from the back.

Bearing shown spins freely, nothing up top is making any noise.

 

HR just sent me an email with some corny Halloween zombie stock image she pulled of Google, covered with watermarkings, and wants me to make a poster sized print of it for the company Halloween party.

we don't have the ability to print anything bigger than Tabloid size at work and the image is low-res with watermarking all over it lol.

I'm gonna sit on this for a bit before replying. Like jesus christ at least buy the actual image for me to work with, how cheap are you guys.

 

I imagine it went something like this

 

if they tell me to just do what I can, I'm going to print it on a 5x7 inch cardstock with the watermarking and mount it to a 4 foot matte board

 

Pleaaaaaase do this, that's hilarious.

Or draw one yourself, citing "we don't have the commercial rights to reproduce the provided image HOWEVER, I took the initiative to provide a royalty-free rendition of my own manufacture."

 

looks legit

 

That's the output side you're holding correct? Yea if you're feeling resistance with it like that it's the bearing on the backside. You'll wanna pull the whole rotor, most often it's a different sized bearing but they might be the same front and back since it's a cheap chinesium motor

 

all that trouble for some shitty home brew lift when they could've just bought some cheap spacers and been 100x better off. I don't understand people

 

That CV angle, boots should last all of a week

 

I'm pretty sure (hoping) that pic is with the wheels off the ground, but yeah they can't be good either way

 

Fucking epic advertising

Local window tint -

 

That would be perfect.
I was going to say email her along the lines of, "Okay will do, just send me the file or a download link after you purchase it," and let her figure it out lol

 

Build me a dog box

 

I'll weld one for you, the dogs might break my welds tho
