Hendey lathe
Been working on the 1940 Hendey lathe, fitting a replacement modern 3 phase motor and a VFD . The new motor is a Hyundai brand ... 3hp it has a heavy flywheel on one end, apparently these are treadmill motors . Only 3 wires coming out, I found the star connection and rewired it in Delta ... Its been a painstaking job configuring the motor mount , there is a old broken 1/2" mounting bolt jammed in the heavy cast plate , I had to remove the plate in order to drill out the bolt, this entailed removing a long pin that the plate rotates on to tension the belts. getting there HA . The Hendey is a Metric version .. it was meant to go to France but the Germans took things over .. so the lathe was sent out here to GMH , the original manual has GMH stamps in it. Ive has this lathe for some years but have not used it ... so will be giving it a run soon. It came with some accessories .
