Thread: Perfecto shaper
16/12/2009 01:43:52

Thank you again, gentlemen- particularly for your patience. I have scanned the diagram sheet (hopefully, the relevant bit) and will attempt to attach it. I have tried to highlight the specific model area with a (badly drawn) box. If you feel that you can translate it into terms suitable for my limited expertise, I would be very grateful

Thread: Sandown Model Engineer Exhibition 2009
15/12/2009 12:06:51
It sounds as though the Sandown organisation has improved out of all recognition. I have, in the past made two attempts to attend. The first, from Oxford was totally ruined by the totally useless traffic 'plods' in Esher High St allowing outside lane queue jumpers to cut across the show traffic in the inside lane. Took well over an hour to get off the St. I tried again, two or three years later, travelling from Addlestone - absolute nightmare, such that when the 'plods' directed us AWAY from the entrance to go on to the roundabout and come back from the other way, I went home and vowed NEVER to try again. I now get my fix at Ally Pally, the only downside being the climb up the hill (probably good for me!) and my inate ability to get lost in the local streets!!
Thread: Perfecto shaper

Thank you again, Les and Meyrick. I don't want to appear to spurn your efforts, which have been much appreciated, but I think that my best bet is going to be to obtain a replacement switch from Hemingway, since I have the instructions for that wiring with the Worden build. This present switch is, as you point out, obviously intended for 3 phase use. It can go into the "may come in useful later" box.  
Just to return to the original thread, is there anyone out there with any info on the Perfecto shaper, please?

Thank you Martin.
Yes, correct - the original switch has 'gone walkabout' so I had to get a replacement - hence the problem. If all else fails I may have to go back to hemingway to look for a proper replacement. I bought the kit in '95 and have only just got around to completing it (or trying to!!

Thank you Les and Meyrick.
Yes, single phase it is and three phase is witchcraft as far as I'm concerned!!
L1,L2 and L3 should have been obvious as 3 phase, in hindsight.
Unfortunately there is no 'book of words', just some 20 plus diagrams which give connections for all sorts of uses and various models but none of the motor connections are for this particular switch model number. Methinks it's back to the seller for more info.

G'day all
I'm looking for any hints, tips, general or specific info on the Perfecto (powered) shaper. I have used a much larger version, years ago. in an evening class workshop but the Perfecto doesn't quite fit into that category!!
An additional, unrelated query - I wish to fit a reversing switch to a Worden grinder motor. The Worden build notes give good detail on the motor mods required and I now have a five core cable to wire it up. However the switch (Kraus and Naimer) wiring diagram is (to my untutored eyes) obscure - to say the least.!! My 'wiggly amps' expertise runs to standard 3 pin plugs with Live/ Neutral/ Earth annotations. The 'Connecting diagrams' for this switch offer six different versions (none for this model, specifically) and with connections marked, variously as L!, L2 , L3 and N. Is there a simple translation for these markings, please?
TIA
Bill
