Ok, thanks. Is 'uf' the same as 'MFD' and is 'AC' the same as 'vac' then?This a link to the pic:http://mccm.iwsi.ie/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/capacitor.jpg
Being 8 mfd indicates it a run capacitor not start. My grinder has a run cap in it. If it’s a can type it’s oil filled and an indication it’s a run capacitor. They are ready available and the value does not have to be exact. A 7 mfd to 10 mfd will do. Just make sure the voltage rating is above 240 volts since your grinder runs on 240... Regards Don

The FD is an abbreviation of the word Farad which is the unit used to denote capacitance.The AC symbol stands for Alternating Current and these days we use the term vac. This designates the working voltage for an Alternating Current supply.We have just been given a very large Wolf grinder to play with but it appears to be on at least 40 a day, I might be able to let you have the tool rests if they're suitable.Cheers Graham.
