Thread: Electromagnetic Wave Interference
18/04/2022 10:21:55

OMG! Thanks guys for all your help, but I did not think that the problem would be so difficult to solve. It looks like I'm about to spend many hours investigating and trying out some of your solutions. But I agree with Clive it is not acceptable that such a problem comes from a firm such as NT. I sent an e-mail to their support team about a week ago about the problem but at the time of writing have had no reply. Once again Thanks guys

I have just converted my Lathe with a Newton Tesla 3 Phase 1 hp motor kit which includes a Mitsubishi D700-SC Inverter. The problem that I now have is that the Inverter is transmitting a lot of EMC noise, so much so that the DRO Console [M-DRO] counters are counting crazily.

Newton Tesla instructions suggest fitting a Mitsubishi FR-BSF01 Line Noise Filter, but these are near on impossible to find and purchase.

My question is, is there anyone out there with the same problem? I do not know much about electronics, so I’m hoping that some one can help me, there must be another type of popular line filter that I could use instead of the FR-BSF01

Thread: For discussing the merits of alternative 3D CAD programs.

I have been using TurboCad Deluxe for many years now, so I thought that this AA3D trial would be a good opportunity to compare both software packages. As everyone does the most important question is, how much money is this going to cost me after the trial period? To my surprise nobody seems to know! MEW doesn’t state it anywhere in the article! Nor does the internet site of Alibre. If you click on ‘Buy Now’ on the site, nothing happens!

Is this again a case of getting us interested in a package and then slamming us with a cost of hundred of US dollars! They say it has been designed with the hobbyist in mind, but has the price?

Thread: Metal Suppliers
05/10/2012 16:33:35

I hope someone can help me out there. Here in Belgium it is impossible to find a metal supplier for model engineers, they only want to supply very large quantities of the metal one needs, and then you have to have a V.A.T. number.

Does anyone know of a metal supplier around a radius of 50 miles of Maidstone,Kent? What I need is Aluminium and Stainless Steel rod up to a diameter of 30mm and square mild steel up to 100mm.

If anyone can help me I would truly be grateful.
