Have to agree with Larry if someone's bust then a quick 'Hello be with you ASAP' works well for me but if it's one of these people who carry on and totally ignore you then I just about turn and go somewhere else !

Nice work

Sean connect your motor to the VFD as above but you will also need to setup the VFD to suit the size of motor it's connected to, this is relatively easy follow the instructions in the manual that comes the VFD or asking the question on the forum one thing to note though as V*eng pointed out your motor is not 1HP as you stated in your opening post it is in fact .37kw 1/2 hp important to get it correct when setting up the VFD

Having moved things around in the workshop (shed ) I now have a little more room so given that my drill press is passed it I thinking of getting a bench top milling/drill machine but which one ! I do not have a great demand for milling just servicing my 3" Burrell and to date have milled on my S7, I have done a search for buying suggestions but still would like to ask the question and suggestion as to what 'budget' bench top machine should I go for

Cheers H

And here's me thinking it was the fast guy off Sky

Is there any point in using Photobucket or is it just me lately I find after logging on I get bombarded with 'adds' I cant kill them fast enough it's like space invaders ! It seems if I pay I can make the adds go away !!!

I have been needing a bit more storage in the workshop (posh for shed) so yesterday I was forced into going to IKEA and whilst in there I noticed this draw unit link in black, now the wife had a credit note which she kindly said I could use so I purchased one. Today was assembly day the unit was nicely flat packed but would it got together without me loosing my sanity or temper well I have to say how easy it went together it had been well thought out and was assembled before I'd finished my coffee.

H

Hey Ron happy steaming glad your sorted

H

Nice job Adrian maybe I'll get round to completing mine now, I made a prototype in cardboard around 3 years ago and it's still in place but no doubt if I remove it will fall to pieces
