The boilers not theirs but the speed governor looks like a Wilesco model.

Thread: Is Knurling a health hazard?
31/07/2017 23:23:02

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.

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 😁

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.

Thread: Motor rotation
29/07/2017 17:37:39

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.

Warnings

Were Back

Well it seems someone tried to force their way into the server and set off the watchdog, which in it's rush to hide

pulled the power cord out. No we did have someone try to get in but the intrusion protection system kicked in

and stopped all outside access to protect your data, well what little we keep of it.

Thread: Not another bloody text book !
06/07/2017 15:41:17

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.

Thread: Chinese Electric Cars
05/07/2017 20:11:11

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.

Thread: Tool question?
25/06/2017 17:24:25

Or refrigerant pipe flaring tool, yes missing the part that does the work.
