Are there any "Century" guru's here that could help me get info or more knowledge on this motor.
Specs are;
Type:RS
Frame:RS6B
Amp:17.2-8.6
HP:1 3/4
SN:451499
Phase:1
Voltage:115 or 230ac
On start up the brushes spark quite a bit, keep in mind I don't know much about motors didn't take those clases in school know I wish I had. As I understand this, does the body of this motor charge like a Cap, and do I need to bleed this off before opening it up? It runs very quite except the sparks, there is no ground wire on this so should I ground the frame of the motor or the mill/shaper? A cabnet next to it seemed to be energized on the metal frame, so I suspect that the cabnet was acting like an air coupled electronic device. I checked it out with a an ac device. I want to take it apart and clean it up, what oil should I use for the bearings?
