Thanks for replies.Tim its a handle come housing to hold the device the black cable is 240v in, the orange 240 volt outThe device is mounted on a metal frame which then goes down inside the plastic handle.I thought the plastic may have come in two parts so I could bolt it on to the frame.Will make it out of delrin I think.

Its the handle of a device that is used to treat honeybees by vaporizing oxalic acid.May be made up specially have been searching for something similar but no luck.

By any chance could someone tell me where I can buy handles like these have searched the net with no luck?Approx eight inches long by 2 inch diam.

That was quick,thank you.I put Taper thickness guages into google and scrolled through all the images and finally got this

Hi,a friend of mine found these in dads garage could anyone tell me what the correct name is for them?

Thank you for replies.I do have a spare D1-3 back plate so will end up using that.I have a set of R8 collets its a pity there wasn't some way of using these in the lathe.

Does anyone use 5c collets on this type of Boxford and what way do they fit them?

Jason the one you linked is DCGT 11T302 not DCGT 110302 do this not mean it won't be correct size because its T instead of 0?I have tried putting DCGT 1103 in to the search boxes of insert supply places and getting no results.

I got the tool along with a Boxford 280.I will mainly be using aluminium and mild steel and occasionally stainless.If I'm searching for replacement what code should I put in so I know they will fit?

Hi,I have a Sumitomo lathe tool and priced replacement tips for it which worked out over £10 each which is far too pricey for hobby work .Has anyone got one of these and has found a cheaper source of replacement tips?This is whats written on the insert box.

Mike I would have thought I'd have needed some sort of transformer to bring me from 240 to 415 good to know it can be done this way.I would have thought there would have been a lot more people on here who had made there own converter.

Has anyone on here built their own rotary converter 240v to 415 and could give some info?There is a guy on ebay selling plans Les Austin,who does not use a transformer,anyone tried this?

The glass levered off with a bit of force.Thanks

Hi,could anyone tell me how to remove the bezel on this indicator.There are no screws or hole to access on the side of the bezel.

Thank you all for replies.Different motor needed.

Johnboy,can you explain how I do that?

John a clearer pic of wiring.

Pics of inside cover which is lying on its left side and pic of wiring.

I am based in the North of Ireland.John if this can be done it would save me so much hassle.

Hi John,I was told by a company that supply Vfds because it is a 2 speed and 415 volt only motor that it couldn't be run by a Vfd.Are you positive this can be done?
