Thread: Farm sale
01/06/2017 07:41:41
Was at a farm sale last weekend where there was a couple of lathes for sale (check my photo albums). In all honesty they were a bit rough to say the least . The Harrison's chuck keyways were all split , the crosslide wheel bush was very rough and sticky . The ways though showed very little signs of wear (hardened i would've thought ) The herbert was an interesting machine and i would've loved to have taken it home with me as a restoration project . I believe the Harrison sold for £300!!! and the Herbert was unsold . Question .... should i make an offer on the Herbert (i know tge guy thats selling it ) just not sure 😉

Thread: Inverter stick welder
20/05/2017 13:42:58

Was in Lidl this morning and noticed they had an inverter stick welder for £69.99 ,bit of a bargain or would it be crappy cheap rubbish ? . Over 20yrs ago i bought a 120 amp stick welder for £40 new and it's still in use today . So my point is ,do any of you think this is worth a punt ? ...

Looks like you read it wrong Sean, should be JT not MJ.

JT refers to the "jacobs taper" that holds the chuck to the arbor, MT is the larger taper that fits into the machine spindle

You sir ...are correct wink

Yep and I'm the biggest dork living . My tailstock is a mt2 , it's my spindle that's mt3 😣🤢😶. So now I'll need to remove the arbour now and source a mt2 if that's possible . Sorry for wasting everyone's time with my stupidity.

Thread: Tuscan motor .55kw induction motor
21/04/2017 17:33:53

Well I'm shocked .... Went out to try out something on the Fortis today and after about ten min the tuscan motor that i was praising started losing power ,motor was stone cold so not overheating just lost power .Left it for an hour or so came back and the same happened again so I've now refitted the 2hp motor(I thought was 1.5hp but rechecked and it's 1.5kw) .....So now I'm back on the look out for a smaller motor again .Least I'm not out of pocket....can't have that now cheeky

Thread: Tuscan motor .55kw induction motor
16/04/2017 14:15:32
Well that's the Tuscan up and running, only time will tell how it will handle it's new home ,which by the way is in the same position the original motor was . I had to bore out the old stepped pulley which worked out perfect . I'm toying with the idea of drilling holes in the end plate of the motor to let some air in and out . This motor is so quite you almost have to look at it to see if it's still running when the lathe is out of gear . No doubt there will be some gasps of horror about me drilling holes ,at the end of the day the motor didn't cost me a dime so I've nowt to lose 😀.I've tried some really heavy cuts and the motor is more than capable of handling it .
