Thread: eletric motor
30/09/2014 21:05:20
A flexispeed milling machine and home made hack saw so far..A smaller motor would have done but I m thinking ahead and a 1/3 hp was very little less money..
I admit I do find electicity completely baffling but itsounds best to leave Henry alone and spend more..safety is paramount..Thank you very much

motor arrived but no starter yet..Having found the cheapest one at ?39 I m not buying one! If I have to I ll take the mitor out of our old Henry(hoover!) and use that until I feel rich again(again!) Is there something unpleasant or dangerous happens to motors which dont use starters..would a low power circuit breaker help? ?Henry never had one..

Try Mylers steel in Bedford..They used to do smallish bits for me..Macays of East Road Cambridge will do almost anything including machining and very helpful..Also Smithsof Sratton Park( South Biggleswade) used to advertise they would always help Model Engineers..Better check to see if they still do..Macays best..

Hallo Martin.Didnt see you at Haddenham this year..
28/09/2014 13:54:20
Thank you for the info Phil..Clarkes/Machinemarts need a starter which is ?25 extra..Tec is what I was looking at and most likely..
A local electrical engineer who can rewind motors could be difficult to find around Cambridge, No one here but great thinkers!
I hope i never need it fireproofing!!

I want to buy a 1/2 hp motor for 2 elderly motorless small machines I have but am not sure which..Either a Clarkes which is about £110 or other new ones on ebay which are capcitor start and run for about £70.Wondered if the latter tupe would be ok and last a while..I know cap run types are used in washing machines so should be adequate for my light use..Thank you
