Hi buddy - Lovely work! A couple of questions if you have time? 1. What was your process? Sandblast, sand, powercoat? did you do it yourself? 2. How tough was it to remove all of the outer shell for spraying?
I've been looking at tons of N50 videos on TH-cam I noticed some have grinding noises in gear, what exactly is the cause and should I avoid those mixers?
Hello, Each mixer will sound a little different, there are a couple of adjustment screws underneath the planetary. Not being a Hobart tech, the goal is to make the gears as quiet as possible by adjusting these screws. The other reason is the grease is just disintegrated and this makes the gears noisy. Lastly my with each mixer I have worked on I learn how to better tune it. I like the N50 a lot, its a beast, I would not stay away from them. My suggestion is to find a rebuild candidate and dig deep in to it, for a winter project.

Sweet!
I messaged you on The Fresh Loaf. Just checked out the switch plates you made and am interested.
Oh and where can i buy your N50 switch plates? I know you mentioned them on another video? Link or site?
Did you powdercoat it? Was wondering if most powdercoating places have that color? Where did you get the decals?
