I only use the lathe (ML7) to get the thread started and square then finish in vice using 2 handed die holder ,cut upto 16mm thread using this method.No problems at all.I think sometimes people over complicate things.

When working on this type of power supply would it be safer to power it with an isolating transformer,like we used to do with AC/DC radios and tv’s ?

33mm = 1.299inches

A. 3/4 whit spanner is 33.02 mm across flats.

I would fit a mains rated latching emergency stop button between the mains plug and the VFD ,using same size cable/flex that is between the plug and VFD.

I can’t understand why these threads get so complicated ,when all it needs is a simple answer.No doubt there will something wrong with my answer.

If the European adapter is illegal ,why is it on sale still and made to BS5733/A ?

2 pin European plugs with bare cable ends are also on sale

Thanks for replying to my post.

Please explain why a small machine say 1HP or less shouldn’t use a plug .

What is wrong with 4 low power items plugged in 4 way socket ?

Hi Fastdave ,regarding back plate thread ,try putting the back plate on the wrong round to see if it goes all the way on. This should show whether the threads are the problem or the plain bit of bore.

Hope this helps.

I remember buying a new back plate for a 4 jaw chuck to fit my ML7  ,this would not go on all the way.Faceplate, catch plate and 3 jaw chuck all spun on easily by hand.

I bought a tap ,tapped the new back plate and it fitted alright then.

If you know make and model of drier ,look up service manual/circuit diagram on internet. Just done the same to re-use my old Whirlpool washer motor.

Search for “equivalent hall effect switch “ the code is there.

A laptop would be better as the screen is bigger.My wife used an ipad for her slimming club Zoom sessions and then decided to try her laptop which is a lot better Hope this helps.

Why not use an old central heating boiler,the pump would circulate the tub water through the tub.Thermostat and controls built in.Need to change to propane. Most of the work is done .This is just an idea ,would probably work.The heat output is also known ,making any calculations easier.

Please keep us informed of your progress.

Hi ,

This website has drawings of Wanner oil guns on it ,they show spring etc in nozzle.**LINK** .Dont know whether this will help.You’ve probably been on this site already .

Hi Robert,my oilgun is not same make as yours ,but the nozzle has an 1/8 bsp thread and the ball is 1/4 inch diameter .Hope this helps.

Could be a firmware fault ,it seems to be based on atmega 328 ,firmware files on internet.You could try reflashing it.

Why not make an end for your gun that fits nipple correctly.Put a small o ring in the end to seal it.

Where can I find software for this project please ?
