Sorry RC, those readings were taken from the input 240 to the transformer. Now edited.

What has me curious is L2 to earth.

Hi all,

Just been poking around my 3 phase converter and was wondering if anyone could help me with the figures I have.

Step up transformer (240-415volt) running into a 4kw 3ph motor.

L3 is...

Hi all,

I am on the final legs of my CNC lathe build...it has been a very big learning curve but so far things have turned out fantastic. My questions relate to running a VFD via a rotary phase...

Undergog, it's good to see someone else with the same style Macson......I was getting lonely there for a while.

Yes it can be tight.....lucky for me I'm 6'4" and skinny:;

Only one machine gets used at a time. The little lathe is a CNC and has since had an enclosure fitted. Speeds on the Macson are kept low,...

Mess.....that is all the crap sitting on machines that should be on shelves...

The green lathe is the old 16 speed Macson.....love that thing. The King Rich is the old school non ball type screw....

Here's mine. Sorry it's a bit messy.

Do you have an indexing or dividing head to use?

The Commo pic is as follows from left to right.

A slip joint and uni, then a centre bearing which mounts to the vehicle. Directly to the right of that is a CV joint, and at the other end another...

As Dave J mentioned. If you stick with IFS Jap 4x4's you will have a large selection that are readily available. All you have to do is work out what spline count you need for your HP.

Thanks Ray.

I will post some of my own questions there.:2tsup:

We have a CNC area?:o

I have both. And I much prefer the power hacksaw.

I have everything working except spindle drive......I've been too slack to choose a VFD. Will grab some video of the saddle and compound slide moving.:2tsup:

I bet the seller is happy now.........2G's.

Sad.....I see this machine now goinmg for quite a bit more than 750!


Bargain gone I think.

So where did they have these beasties made?

If the price on this is correct......than wow!.......wish I had more room in the shed:D


Milling Machine - Used Condition | eBay

It will mainly be used for driveline components that I make.


Yes, a heap of extras came with it. External and internal wheels, fixtures, all steadies and better still all manuals and brochures....

Just put a TOS universal cylindrical grinder in the shed today. Has anyone here had any dealings with these machines? I managed to score all the factory books and accessories too.....so will be doing...

Better do some updating......



Most of the electronics are done. PC is up and running and the servos work...:D

Lots more bracketry to make and lots more tidying up to do.
...

Thanks Ray. I am actually making a new sadle that incorperates the mounting for the ball nut, should be in my hands tommorow. The bearings were supllied with the ballscrews. The end has a circlip but...

Ball screws are mounted as is the motor. It took a fair bit of machining to get the ball screw in the cross slide but the results are looking good.:D

...

Thanks for the info Chris and Ray.


More goodies have been arriving so I have been busy mocking things up. Better progress will happen on the weekend when I have my laser cut adaptors.:;

Don't let not knowing too much stop you. The net is a wealth of information. I must also add that the PDF from Mach3 is fantastic reading. Not only from the programing side but also the advice they...

Hi all,

As per this thread https://www.woodworkforums.com/f65/h-f-al-54b-lathe-special-132769/ I have purchased an AL-54B for a CNC conversion. For the money I paid I think it is a good starting...

Hi Darren,

The motor had the capacitors hanging off but still wired. Me and a friend plugged it in and well........

The motor would not get up to full speed and it started smoking rather...

Thanks Dave. I want Mach 3 to control spindle speeds as well as on/off. I have found a nice little 3 phase motor which will sit nicely in place of the current motor.


Here are some pics.
...

Well.........I bought an AL54B.


And yes, the motors are toast! The Promica kit won't suit this lathe so I have had to work out what I need in the way of electronics and ball screws etc. The...

I'm after a bolt on kit. I don't have time to make brackets etc. The quote I recieved from them for the lathe is very reasonable considering what you get in the kit.

I'M going to look at one of these on the weekend in the hope of fitting a PROMICA cnc kit to it.:2tsup:

I saw that too.........if only I had the room!................

Try Stabilus, you will find they make them for everyone else.

Graziano......very nice paint job:2tsup:

This is my 16 speed localy made Macson. It replaced my small Colchester master. Fantastic machine to work with and I only have a couple of small things to 'reco' and she will be as good as new. The...

nadroj,

The Sajo is a UF48M, 1951 vintage and still works a treat. I term it the washing machine as its belt driven and sounds like one. Very solid machine!


davej,

Yes, I'm in the 4x4...

My two mills.....a King Rich turret, and a Sajo universal with all the factory gear.

:o RC.......good find!:2tsup:

Thanks for all the comments guys. Trailer building is something I'm yet to try (Suzuki's don't tow so well). These diffs are just used with zook engines, though I do have a Toyota 4.0 litre V8...

And the last of it......

Hi all, a new member here. I mainly joined for the hercus section but I'm open to learning other stuff :D I tinker with custom 4x4's and thought I would show one of the custom diffs I make to suit...
