Thanks for that. Going to order now. Ive spend ages looking for one. Thanks heaps.

i have used the board no problem, it was part of a kit from little machine shop and used a double pole switch i believe it called.. as i said before the control for the motor speed is pretty and...

Thw numbers where pretty hard to read but i think it was kc724rf and k324n

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=141232249267&alt=web thats the control. Ive used ine before on another project and i liked it.

The pwm control for the motor.

I also hooked up a motor directly to m+ and m- and the motor ran fine with no faults

Shorted p2 to p1.
M+ to m- = 25v
M+ to p3 = 25v
M- to p1/p2 = 24v

However when i hook my new control to m+ and m- it goes straigh into fault mode.

I have no idea what tou mean. I dont have much experience in this area.

Please excuse my paint skills, ive done a bit of a drawing as to how it is wired, if it doesnt look right it probably isnt as i had already cut a couple wires off and was peicing it together. however...

Thanka for your help. Ill have a go tomorow and let you know what i come up with

I beleive p1 p2 p3 where the potentiometer, k1 and k2 was the reset switch for when it overloads and m+ and m- was for the motor, there was a forward and revess switch too. Ill have a look tomorow...

That exactly what i want to do. I want to bypass that boards potentiometer.

The point was to use this board, as its off my powerfeed and its proven. However i dont like the way it controls the motor speed so i want to use one i have. So i want to use the 25v this board...

No its a control board for the powerfeed i have in it.

ive got a circuit board with 240v in and 25v out, has current overload protection. It for my power feed for my x2 mill however im not happy with the way the speed controlling works, my original...

Penrite stuff says no good for stainless and high tensile steels.

im interested in this too, what brand do you use?

Thanks for the tips everyone, i ended up getting a t shaped parting blade. I parted of with great sucess, locked everything up made everything as ridgid as i could. Power feed in at aprox 100rpm and...

Thanks for all the tips ill give them all a go. So front releif angle keep to a.minmum. neutral/no back rack?

So thats the back rake..front releif i guess is the angle on the front of the tool

Thanks for the pics. Ill try have a go at that. Because i mainly use carbide im not really cluded up on what back rake ect ect is. Could somone help me out?

its an old herless, basicly an al960b sold by hare and forbes

no worries mate, see what the others have to say.

have you got a pic of the tool?

i was using lots of cutting oil but still had no luck.

Ive been trying to part of some 35mm steel in my lathe, im running at about 150rpm and got the auto cross slider feed on 0.029mm/rev and it just isnt happening, stalled the lathe, tool dug in even...

Just placed an order for this http://www.machineryhouse.com.au/G155

Seemed to have more features and more power then the abbot and ashby. Now to get some green wheels for it. Can green wheels be...

Ive got carbide tips, i do have some brazed caribide bits that could do with a sharpen tho ive read you cant really sharpen carbide unless you got a dimond wheel and that sounds expensive.

Forgot to mention the amount ot use iy woukd get would be very minimal as i usualy run carbide. That was part reason for getting a cheapy. Just the cheapys lack any hp. Which im not sure if decent hp...

So you think spend the money?

I

Would a 150mm 250watt be ok? Grinding up to 16mm tools. Mainly 12mm tho

Im looking at getting a bench grinder mainly for lathe tool grinding. I was originaly going to get a 600watt 200mm abbot and ashby. But ive been looking at 2nd hand ones, these are usualy cheap low...

If you tell edcon steel what you want im sure they will order it, usually when they order stuff in its a minimum order, usually a length. Have a look on edcons website and they have the steels they...

although probably not an option for home use, i remember back at tafe we where given a demo of dry ice blasting. used dry ice to blast off paint and grease on an old press. minimum mess.

Im not sure about blasting quality soda but a quick look on ebay and its cost about 50bucks for 10kg. where as traditional media (garnet, wallnut ect ect) is about 30 bucks for 25kg. not sure how...

from my limited experience in soda blasting, i think its main use is very light cleaning? mainly for use on car panels, not sure if it takes all the paint off or you get the bulk of it off then soda...

for those interested part 2 is up now.

Is this "gasless mig" can be a bit hard to see the pool with gassless. Also too gasless your ment to drag along similar to stick welding. Might weld you see a bit better.

pretty awesome. wish i had the skills to make an engine, anyone here seen the little V8s floating around youtube, maybe one day ill have a crack at making one.

good point, but this wouldn't add much much in the way to reduce the swing?

yeah thanks for that. for some reason i picture the bxa being bigger then it is and my tool post being smaller then it really is.

seems the bxa is almost exactly the same as the original tool post.

is 25 going to be enough? haha

finaly got my lathe sorted out abd been playing around with it. Now i want a qctp for it. Ive done a bit of searching and want opinions on which would be better. The axa or bxa. Ive been recomended...

Thanks for the info on the shapes, i can sort off see there purpose now.

does a shaper have other uses? because im failing to see why they even exist.

excuses the ignorance here, im somewhat new to machining, but why wouldn't you just mill it with a face mill/fly cutter? the hand scraping i can see being a worth while task, but on the machine im...

Yeah i watch Adam every week have been since the beginning. That welding table is way over kill and i personally think he should have motorized it for all the effort he has put into it. Bit of a...

Thanks for that. looks like i will go with the co2.

Thanks Karl, very informative, much like your help in my cast iron welding. Ive look and the price different with co2 and argosheild is 20bucks, not much but if you think c02 would be better then...
