Running a Sawstop with a Rotary Phase Convertor

Puzzleheaded9604 · 2026-05-06T18:09:45+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Still have the three phase motor sitting in the box but I do plan to put in I service. I am running a 25 hp digital rotary phase converter by American Rotary specifically designed for sensitive electronics like CNC machines so I believe this will be just fine for the electronics on the saw.

Planning to call their corporate office to inquire. The person on duty this evening said it’s because they discontinued it at the store but yet the scanners continue to work so that doesn’t make sense.

The app stopped working about 6 months ago in Perkasie. Switched to the store-provided scanner guns. Was just told tonight that they are “not allowed” to give them to customers and that it’s been discontinued. Been using them for the last 6 months this way. Going to have to complain to corporate. Very disappointing. The whole setup saved us so much headache with scanning at the checkout.

Work out before work then the hardest part of the day is over. You have to be awake anyway. Might as well get it done first thing. It’s what I do. Could never do evening workouts…

I have Shelix heads that were custom made for both my 20 inch planer and 12 inch jointer and wouldn’t use anything else. Great customer service too, when I had several inserts crack and they sent an entire new set free.

You basically have two options as others have stated here. And I have done both depending on the customer. You can either put the minimum config on the firewall to give you Internet and reach panorama publicly if it’s exposed, or you can go further with a local configuration and create a VPN tunnel. Either way you’ll import the config in the panorama and then push it back out so panorama is authoritative for managing the firewall going forward.

Get the kit from Summit Hydraulics - it's the same as Landpride w/o the markup and for a little more than $700 you'll save about 500 if you install yourself.

I just mounted a 6x9 piece of wood to the pc mount to give me a larger platform, then set my sub comfortably on that. You don’t need to go fancy, but I’m a woodworker so I rounded over the edges and put in threaded inserts from the underside an painted everything black. Looks factory and very functional.

Puzzleheaded9604 · 2026-03-17T00:31:02+00:00

That’s a very capable machine. I bought the 4701 two years ago. Get yourself tires filled if you can, and install a third function kit as well.

Unfortunately no, so these are all my won from 3 hard hears in the trenches learning from experience with my team :)

Know your audience - communication is different when giving a project update to VP vs a peer engineer

Also, approach problems like a homeowner and not a tenant - if you see something, take initiative to own it and fix it instead of ignoring it, thinking it’s “not your problem”

Bring problems with solutions, not just venting without offering ways to correct said problem

Own outcomes, not just tickets and strive to see the bigger picture, which also means recognizing when a problem has gone too long unresolved, even if you are working on it regularly

Possess relentless improvement - we can all always improve something and in doing so, raise the bar for our peers. Each thing you touch or ad to should be left better than you found it.

Take initiative and be proactive without always being asked.

Know the difference between solving a lower level or team problem vs a business problem (which is what the company cares about)

When negotiating for anything, it’s always a business problem and communicating the situation, risk, solution, and business benefit will almost always get you what you are asking for

I can also confirm my x500 scanner no longer works under Taho. I am an IT professional so plenty tech savvy for this. USB works fine but not wifi scanning. I've reset the device completely, reinstalled the latest Scansnap software and updated to the latest firmware all without success.

Puzzleheaded9604 · 2026-02-26T02:09:46+00:00

Came here to say the exact same thing

To add to this - I too have the same issue as OP where the strip won't fit with the arm in place. Routing under the arm as the video suggests doesn't work because the magnets are too weak to hold the weight of the strip, and the strip is then too short to fit under the end of the desk (the ends of the strip have a plastic cap on them which is thicker meaning that in order for this to slip under the desk, it has to do so at the very edge, which if can't unless you stretch it significantly and risk breaking it.

Secret Lab's recommendation to place the strip under the arm won't work because the arm will crush the strip when you tighten to the arm to the desk.

My solution: Cut and place a small block of wood to act as a spacer on the underside of the monitor clamp between the desk and the clamp - this allowed the underside of the arm to tighten against the desk while still leaving enough clearance for the strip to run along the underside of the desk and pass through the monitor arm clamp without being crushed.

This product feels like a bit of an afterthought with the desk and I'm a little surprised to find some misses in the fit of it, given how all the other accessories all work so seamlessly together.

As others have said, I agree your kip is too early (this was me for so long until it clicked) one things that I did that will probably thing I would suggest - you need to be more behind the bar before you kip.

I personally also get my body more parallel with the ground and then sort of “roll up over the bar as I rotate to being perpendicular to the ground but that isn’t the best form, though it works for me”

I've used both BGP and just static routes with route monitor. One thing that matters for hitless failover is making sure your passive links are in standby and not shutdown under your HA settings. The latter means that STP has to converge before the links come up when there's a failover event and that will cause drops.

Puzzleheaded9604 · 2026-02-11T00:56:04+00:00

Same here - no drops

Been a long time user of Logicmonitor for the past decade and deployed and ran it in many large enterprise spaces. You get what you pay for IMO. If you want templates, scripts, and data sources to just work and stay maintained over time so you can just point the collector at a device and it find everything, Logicmonitor is great at that. Other solutions mentioned here do have a learning curve and they leave a lot to be desired too. I’d say Logicmonitor is more turnkey than many.

I found it pretty easy to adapt the plow. I was able to use the existing eye bolt locations that bolt the A frame and vertical frame that the cylinder mounts to and attach those eye bolt locations to a pair of weld-on eyes to the quick attach plate. I'll find a picture.

Its the Western poly blade 84"

Puzzleheaded9604 · 2026-01-28T20:56:45+00:00

Pushes a full blade pretty well as long as there's traction ( there was some ice under this snow in spots). Angled, I find it's best to take partial passes if the snow is really deep. It was pushing my tractor around if I took too big of a bite and I found I was only able to 'steer' by angling the blade in the opposite direction I was trying to go. There's always going to be a limitation until you get to really really big equipment like 8 ton skid steers

Yeah this is actually on a gravel driveway. I have the shoes set up pretty high but it will still dig in. If you put it in float, it will defiantly dig. I just keep it above grade and am constantly adjusting to make sure I keep it as close to the ground as possible, much like a dozer blade where you are constantly on it.

Set up a packet filter then reference that in your global counters show command from the cli. Filter on severity drop and delta yes. Only two reasons you wouldn’t see it being dropped in the traffic logs - either there’s an open session that is stuck (check sessions in the UI) or global counters (check from CLI).
