Just as an aside i have had a few Fobcos with a not fully cut slot on the clamp type of tables

the slot ends about 15mm from one end i have always cut them fully and this makes them much easier to clamp tight

though fobco must have had a reason for not fully cutting the slot

Generally on those brook motors the colours for the sets of windings are the same colours so a1 and a2 will be red b1 and 2 will be cream(yellow) and c1 and 2 will be blue

As bill said above there looks to be 3 wires on the N terminal one at 12 and one at 11 o’clock

remove the 3 wires from the N terminal and wire as the diagram above on the right hand diagram

Buy some wd40 in a 5litre container that comes with a hand sprayer..spray liberally on the cutter whilst machining..of course you can use the spray cans but the 5 litre route is cheap

I do a fair amount of desoldering on circuit boards and the best thing is a mains powered soldering iron with pump built in.. (about £35)

just place the iron on the joint wait till it melts press the trigger and it works every time

I would buy a secondhand bisley multidrawer cabinet with 10 or 15 drawers

when thats full of bits and bobs ( and drill bits) it wont move and the top at 10x 15 inches is perfect for a fobco

For 75mm dia i would use a 3-4 tpi blade

14 is too fine for that diameter

try a lesser toothed band before condemning your machine

pre lockdown mild steel offcuts at my local stockholder were £1000 per ton now £2400 plus vat

Derek

point 1 should be 50 Kwatt not watt

Are you sure on the fixed pair of gears?

i have a set off a 30vsm spare and they are 31 and 56 and the helical is 39

Catheter plug?

Is it a 56 and a 31 tooth?

if so i have one

Isn’t a 30 the same as a wm 18?

if so i think i have a spare off to look now…

Loctite 330 is my go to glue for jobs like this..its in a tube like toothpaste quite thick and hard to squeeze out...put on one side of the job spray the activator onto the other side bring together and clamp if you need to.

Seen in hope Derbyshire today …. Is it any more than this anywhere ?

I cant now remember which brand VFD they are but some have a multiplication factor that could display your spindle speed…but not if theres a gearbox with more than 1 ratio

To me a keysafe can be removed in a second with a crowbar and then opened destructively in private then the villians have your door keys.

if carers are using it perhaps 2,3,4 times a day they don’t want to be struggling to access an out of sight keysafe..,

do we tell the insurance co that theres keys to the house left outside?

In sheffield we haven’t had a power cut in decades

keys would still work in the event of no power

John. National trust cottages don’t have all your possessions inside and an old lady generally.

what’s wrong with the electronic ones? I have had one for 20 years or so?

Advise/suggestions please

My mum at 86 with advancing dementure has recently has a fob pendant given her that calls for help if she falls or just needs help…the company that installed the system wants a key safe outside so they or the designated responder can get in.

she’s also starting soon to have carers coming in and the company also want the keysafe as they have different carers so don’t want to have keys..

To me its like leaving the key under the mat

Mum..she generally leaves the key in the lock on the inside so then the key wont work anyway.

I want to fit a electronic keypad to open the inner front door with a Yale type lock (rather than the mortice lock presently fitted) and leave the outer porch door unlocked.

so the inner door can be shut and always locked …but can be opened with a key always…not too sure mum could cope with a PIN number.

what have others done in this situation?

my sister says just have the keysafe..

Facebook is full of scam adverts like this one

apparently most people are so embarrassed when they receive nothing like what they thought they were going to get they don’t take it any further …just put it down to their greed or stupidity
