Not a Pultra 17/50

Hi Dell

The BLDC motor I use for powering a Geneva or WW watchmakers lathe is a DB59S0124035-A bought from Farnell stock number 250 7574 . The power supply, also bought from Farnell, is a 100 W 24V enclosed type stock number 379 0321 you will also need a 10k ohm potentiometer to provide the speed demand input to the BLDC controller.

The BLDC controller I've used is from eBay type ZS-X11H. This is a controller that has the interfaces needed to link with the Hall sensors of the DB59 brushless motor.

The downside of this "kit" is that it is not plug and play.

Although the Industrial Sewing machine motor "kit" is more powerful than a watchmakers lathe would need it is plug and play. The Jack sewing machine motor kit was bought off eBay from sewit4you at £99.

PM me for more info.

Thanks Clive

I have ordered the sewing machine motor from sewit4you just got the manual from smart & Brown but I notice the shroud is missing from the front of the headstock so will have to find one or get one made.

Starting to look better now

It matters not a jot, Dell … but I have to ask:

What makes you think that green was its original colour ?

The original colour was cream but I was unable to find a paint code for the cream and anyway the cream would show all the marks so I decided to use the green as it was the last original  colour that was used on the Pultra’s Reseda green RAL 6011 .

why has the pictures appeared twice

Thanks for the clarification, Dell

I had a quick look to see if I could find a code for the Cream colour … but most of what I found was you asking the question elsewhere !

The Green looks like a good choice anyway.

MichaelG.

A nice choice of colour, looks good, do post a picture when you've finished.

Here's one of mine in probably the same shade of green.

I'm doing this on my phone, and clearly haven't got the knack of rotating the pic to the correct orientation yet. Bear with me.

Looks good Colin you can go in to edit mode in pictures on your phone and rotate it and save whenever I do it I have to rotate it when I post because even if it is correct on the phone it seems to rotate when posted but if you rotate it doesn’t very odd, I just rotate all the way round back to original and save.

And yes I will post pictures when done spent yesterday rebuilding tailstock and quick close ( dish full of loose ball bearings)

I have done it as well 😂
