Hi Vic Thanks for quick response, Like what I see may try on of them ?.

There's at least one book out there

Hi Ady1 Thanks for quick response, Not sure what era the book covers.

What sort of period are you looking at - there is a huge difference between a 1940 field gun1940 and a 1490 cannon...

Hi Neil Thanks for your quick response,I was thinking of something from the first world war.

Hi all I would like to make a model of any field canon, can any one give me any idea where best to get plans from that give has much info as possible as I am new to working from plans.

Just stop cursing, broke my 3 jew Pratt chuck.

Hi

Lets start by saying I am not well up on electrics. I am a member of a air rifle club and have been asked could I make a system for moving the target about from the shooting position to the rear wall, to do this I will need some electrical motor that are reversible and we would like to use 12 volts, my first thought was wiper motors, but I would need instruction on the wiring.

1/ what other motors could I use.

2/ I would need wiring diagram.

Thanks for the info, Sorry for being a pest but (a little but) The info on the motor does not tell me the house power, the only info is

230 Volt, 50/60HZ, 4800RPM, 180 Volts.

Do you know if this is big enough. I have all the control off the treadmill with speed controls. I thought that I could use them just need to build box to fit them in.

The only other thing I would need some kind of rev counter.

Hi all,

I have a Myford SL7 Lathe and was thinking that I would like to fit variable drive motor. I have a treadmill that I no long use which as a variable drive motor and controls. I would have to make up boxes to fit controls and find a way of fitting the motor. My question is the motor is not 3 phase so what will it be and will I be able to make it work, what size should it be to drive the lathe.

Ron

Thanks for that quick response

Hi all

I have just been given a chop saw from a window frame company that as run on 3 phase the motor is a asincrono 1.5hp it state that its 240/415, does this mean that it can be run on single phase with just some wiring change.

I have no knowledge in electrics when it comes to motors, Would I need to get a convertor and if so which one and from where.

Hi all, I have a myford S7 with gearbox, which I used to cut imp theards what I would like to do is metric theards, could someone enlighten me on how to do this, do I need complete gear change or is there a single gear that would change the way the gearbox worked and if so how would would I know what pitch I was turning without having to cut test runs. By the way I am new to the world of lathes.

Ron

Hi try this site in utube Halligan142

Ps whats cad.

Paul which some one had told me that before I started. I now have most tools I believe I need then see something else. Got to have it no idea what it does. but then again will fit in with all my other tools well.

Is it worth getting both ME & MEW if not which one, I will be building static engines and I am vary new to Lathes and milling machines. I have a Myford S7 and a Warco turrit mill which I have just bought and need help in getting into using them.

I have always bought drills as needed for general use, Now I am getting into model making I thought it was time to buy a set of quality drill bits, looking round I thought dormer looked good but price seemed to vary a lot and some discreptions stated jobber drill ?. I was looking to get a AF set in 64ths increments.

What should I be looking for and where is the best place to buy.
