Bueller's shed - a noobs journey through vintage machinery
Played around with the control circuit on the VFD last night, got a working on/off toggle switch and 12v leds to show VFD power and running state. Went and bought all the stuff from Altronics this afternoon to box the switchgear but something arrived that's distracted me! Bought a Vicmarc VM90 from the market place here, very excited to finally have a chuck I can use.

Couldn't for the life of me get the insert out so I decided to leave it in place, probably not necessary to remove anyway as it's the right size for my lathe. Everything else is getting degreased and cleaned before I apply a fresh coat of grease and reassemble. Very happy with it for the price I paid, it's seen a fair bit of use but the scroll and body are both in great shape so it should keep going for quite some time.
