dc31k thats exactly what i want and then it replicates the machine as standard

thanks for the links il take a look

hi all i recently brought a holbrook c13 lathe im wanting to change the orginal 3 speed motor to a single speed and have 3 different setting on the vfd to replicate the 3 motor speeds i know somebody on here had done this on a holbrook c10 i wonder if anybody has any further information on this iv used vfd inverters in the past to wire my old lathe with start stop fwd revs etc just not played with using different frequency settings to the vfd to replicate the speed 1 2 3 of the holbrooks controls

thanks in advance

Is you Centec 2b motor a 2800 rpm motor as standard mine is only a 1400 rpm

Hi all I recently brought a Centec 2b local to me very cheap with a quill head

Didn’t realise the size of the swarf tray

2 questions

I need a new bellows for the z axis lead screw what do people use

also I use carbide end mills don’t have hss I find 1400 rpm a little slow for using the vertical head

do people change the motor to a more powerful 2 pole or play around with different size pulleys thanks in advance

The rack is definitely a 5mm pitch 50mm 10 teeth 100mm 20 15mm 30 teeth etc etc

The mod for that works out at 1.59 is this a special cutter or is it a mod 1.5 little suspicious thanks

Hi there the gear that runs along the rack for the carriage is badly warn on my m250 I can't seem to workout the mod to cut a new one mine measures 23mm and it's 12 teeth unless someone has messed around with this is anyone sure many thanks

This isn't a mod it's a accessorie supplied by elliott they seem fairly rare I have the head just not the connecting arm

Hi all I collected a elliot 14m shaper at the weekend it came with a slotting head that sits where the ram is don't suppose anyone else has one ?? The connecting rod is missing on mine and wondered if someone could provide photos and dimensions would be a massive help

Brilliant many thanks guys il take a load of tools.with me shouldn't take to long to strip down the hoist is 2 ton so lifts fairly high the bloke may be able to borrow a forklift il pester him to get one thanks

Hi there does anyone know the weight of a elliott 14m shaper. I have purchased it but don't have a manual was thinking a 2 ton engine hoist and lift into a big van or onto a trailer

Many thanks for people's input

My gear shift knob is not orginal the orginal ones where not ball shape

The vfd functions I believe are very useful I think the elliot 10m slowest speed is still a little fast for roughing

I'm currently in the process of putting bigger flip top oilers on the ram and putting wipers on there to to keep the oil in

I have been amazed at the shear power of these machines last night I was roughing down some steel at a 4.5 mm depth of cut I'm sure this could he improved as it's the first shaper tool of made

I went with 6 pole 1hp as the vfd when lowering the frequency the power is still there I bored the orginal pulley and cut the keyway to make the motor up and running seems to work beautifully thanks for all the help

Never feel like a slight increase in power is needed

The original motor was a 3/4 hp 6 pole I'm guessing slightly lower speed more torque just wondered if people use a 1 hp rather than 3/4
