When I acquired my S7 it can without a oil gun I purchased an alternative to the Wanner gun and found it totally useless I then got a Wanner off ebay and it works fine but I will admit on a couple of nipples I find a piece of kitchen roll helps make a better seal.

Welcome to the forum

I'm with Walker Midgley both for my steam engine and workshop/tools

Brian I have to agree with you about box spanner being preferred to ring I have good number of BA spanners both OE and ring but I have just purchased a second set of box spanners I have just had minor surgery on my left hand for carpal tunnel and my right hand is just as bad so having no feeling in my fingers I find them very useful for holding the nut whilst starting it on the thread

H

Sorry I don't but why not try the Myford yahoo group they have loads of useful stuff on there .

H

I feel for the guy but there have been enough warnings posted regarding Brunell Steam !!!

Same thought came to me when I read Brian's description of the nuts

H

Can't remember at the moment (senior moment) but awhile back may have been ebay

I purchased the 'tee' section in a strip around 10" long so it didn't take long to drill, tap and cut them up

H

Nice machine well done !!!

Single handed 'pun intended' had a closer look a the motor it looks like it's a special the mounting bracket is spot welded to the motor case and the shaft has been turned down for 0.625 to 14mm ! A quick check on the website 'not done it yet' suggested put's the motor at frame 56, I was looking to uprate the motor but as Neil pointed out a motor is nearly the cost of a new drill press so for now when hand allows I think I'll look at changing the bearings.

Hi Sean the inverter in most cases can be controlled by it's front panel, normally you would only need to get a 'pot' if you want to control the speed remotely

H

Thanks for all replies

Not Done It Yet Intend to remove motor asap but just had minor surgery on left hand for carpal tunnel

Neil Same thought had crossed my mind

Martin Have seen the link so after your comment will give it a go

Thanks H

I have a Clarke drill press Clarke CDP5DD for what I paid for it, it's served me well, however I need to replace the motor but I cannot find what the motor frame size is ! Would anyone know or any advice on how to establish the frame size ?

Cheers

Photobucket are demanding money in order to allow you to use your photos on 3rd party site many forums are now having a problem with this photos being replaced with the image below, pure blackmail don't pay if no one pays to upgrade there account then at least they will have to come up with a cheaper solution alternatively move to a rival photo hosting company

H

Max another thing to remember is that you need to let the motor stop or at least until you hear the centrifugal switch drop out before reversing the direction other wise it will continue to run the same way.
