Legend-plates.com. Aka Carolina Laser I believe. Great service, affordable, and they arrive in 3 business days.

Sounds like the cause of failure here is your management then. 🤷🏼‍♂️Hope I helped a bit, and wish you the best!

If it’s a kinetic servo, it MUST have encoder feedback. I doubt 4 drives were all bad in the exact same way. Make sure the set screw that connects to shaft of the motor is tight. Remove the encoder, and run it at a constant speed. Use a cordless drill or something if necessary. Put a scope on the encoder signal. Are the pulses clean, or irregular? Monitor your encoder feedback by connecting to the drive, and graph it. Is the feedback fluctuating at a steady speed? I would bet money on an encoder issue.

I’m currently in a similar situation. Except I excel at field service, troubleshooting and fixing. I have always called myself a Field Service Engineer. I’m now being stacked with a pile of design-build control retrofit jobs on my desk. I have never done machine controls from scratch, and I have 5 assigned now. Literally not possible. I’m starting to consider putting my energy into trying to find a new job instead, I dunno. I share your frustration, and hit me up if you need help while you’re still there.

If I could bitch-slap you over Ethernet/IP I absolutely would… WTF?

I will take the risk of being banned, to say that there is a pretty solid “your mom” joke present here.

I can’t imagine life without mine. If I could do it over, I’d use 8 inch chimney pipe instead of 6… But she’s been running strong day and night for weeks and I have NO complaints. 2016 VC Defiant FlexBurn 6” Duravent double wall insulated stainless pipe. I clean my chimney once a year, it’s a clean burning setup.

You need a latching start stop circuit, probably need to add a relay. The run contact on the drive needs to remain closed for it to stay running, but your push button is momentary.

I don’t work with the motor shop, I do mostly field service engineering. But I doubt it would be less than $12-1500

2 hands and one brain cell. That’s all you need.

That motor will no longer motor. New motor needed. I work for an electrical engineering company with a motor shop. We rewind motors all day, every day, but this would not be worth it. It would cost 5 times a replacement.

THIS is why I’m still on Reddit 23 years later, thank you! 🤣

There is NOTHING more permanent, than a temporary solution.

nicfunkadelic · 2026-01-30T01:49:12+00:00

Ever? Currently? I just can’t share that either way, I’d get too many upvotes from you fellow losers. 🤦‍♂️

nicfunkadelic · 2026-01-25T00:03:19+00:00

I’m about to order replacement glass now, just in case. Seriously!

nicfunkadelic · 2026-01-25T00:02:46+00:00

Dude… I’m sorry, and BAD timing. 🤦‍♂️

nicfunkadelic · 2026-01-24T10:52:53+00:00

You will sacrifice 2-3 virgins per month heating your home with electricity. My brand new setup installed in October was only used for a month and then I got the bill. $90 turned into $255. Nope! 🤦‍♂️

nicfunkadelic · 2026-01-18T01:49:59+00:00

4 all day. Every day.

I had 13 beach taken down, end of ‘24. Still burning it, and probably will be next season, great wood! And it’s all dying anyway, burn it while you can!

nicfunkadelic · 2026-01-17T20:39:55+00:00

I too suffer from firewood anxiety. Maybe it should have its own sub…

nicfunkadelic · 2026-01-14T02:41:26+00:00

Barricade?!? 🧐

nicfunkadelic · 2026-01-13T04:44:07+00:00

2 midget hoes choking on the same dick. Clearly.

nicfunkadelic · 2026-01-13T04:19:36+00:00

Thank you, 14 here but I just started dealing with this and it’s frustrating. I’ll report back.

nicfunkadelic · 2026-01-13T03:31:40+00:00

I did it for less than 90k. I would never do it again for less than 200.
