This type of thread always gets a thumbs up from me, you begin to realise the vast and diverse knowledge base that we have contact with now-a-days within a relatively small family of like minded people. If I can add my little towards skin care, a few years back my wife started getting cracked skin on her hands, very similar to 'old Harry's 'ands' from years gone by. This we found was due to a preservative in hand washes and hand creams, also shampoo and cosmetics. The product is called methylisothiazolinone , see **LINK** for more info. Since we removed this from our house and usage both of us had improved skin conditions. Edited By Brian Ess on 31/07/2017 23:23:51 | |||||

So correct me if I'm wrong .... the brass tab connectors on the motor are to be left in the configuration they're in just now . Sorry for being dumb 😁 Sean If you look inside the terminal lid there should be a picture/graphic showing the link settings for star and delta. | |||||

Slightly off topic but having looked at the OP link to GROUNDFLATSTOCK.COM they have useful heat treatment data sheets for all of the products. | |||||

Agreed, it is a three phase motor, it can be run on 230v single phase but will probably overheat, as you have found. The single phase method is called the Steinmetz method. Our friend Google will find quite a few useful results. | |||||

Thread: Chuck lubrication | |||||
14/07/2017 20:25:32 | |||||
As a simple minded small lathe user I would query using grease in the chuck due to greases ability to hold onto swarf. I know that chips will stick to oil but have more chance, perhaps, of being flung out when the chuck is rotating. My small chuck has an oil hole not a grease nipple. After I've oiled my chuck I wrap it in kitchen paper towel, held on with an elastic band, and run it at high speed. This gets the excess oil out quite well.

This is what I like, sometimes dislike, about the internet. Somebody mentions something and you feel the need to find out more about it. 5/384, yep, where did that come from; well I've found out more so am a little more brain addled but maybe wiser?? My mate Google gave me this http://bit.ly/2tM9buJ and the next time I need a beam I'll be okay. Edited By Brian Sweeting on 06/07/2017 15:41:51 | |||||

One problem that I foresee for the UK market at least is where are these cars going to get recharged. Modern housing units seem to be built without garages and in some cases there isn't even a parking space attached to the property. | |||||
