Good evening,

have an old beaver mill landed into my garage and hope to get in running over new few months once finish the house build.

My 2 issues are suitable power supply and replace the splined handles what are missing

i was thinking this too, one suggestion was VFD wired to existing high speed wiring on motor and use the vfd to adjust the low speed setting

for mill i am thinking VFD for motor and then see if i can get feed motor and suds motor re wired or cheap 220v replacement

rob best set both machines up with all new switches and wiring for the VFD and remove old stuff

No other way to be.

but to be honest i dont follow much sport, prefer to be out doing something than watching someone

I am based in limerick so my selection of equipment is even smaller than the midlands or Dublin.

worst part is all the lovely equipment in UK for lot cheaper then in here

Thanks very much everyone

Thanks million,

Hope drag as much information out of people and maybe in time be able offer some help back

Good morning everyone,

Been lurking around here for a while and said I better join up.

Not sure I can offer much help but have many questions lined up.

New toys

No idea what I am going to do with them but happy I have it

- A Beaver mill, sourced and checked by good friend of mine.

Needs few bits but once house is built ill start finding a home for it.

Missing the handles for the knee (splines shaft) and few other handles

If anyone has few parts for it I’d be happy as missing an inspection cover

- Emcomat 7 lathe donated by friend of mine who had it for 10 years and never used it.

It has 2sp 3ph motor and someone has tried convert to single phase using the capacitor for the mill head.

Think it’s missing 2 of the 3 thread cutting gears

Also need decide how to provide power to these.

Vfd not ideal for 2speed lathe

Vfd suit the mill but not sure will power the feed table and the aids pump

Cheers

John
