Re: trying to attach the motor to my 10f
|
I've run into plates like that on several motors. It's probably a bodged up effort to make a newer (or older) motor fit a mounting bracket from a different generation of equipment.? My Atlas TH42 matches the older motor that came with it just fine. My lathe is from 1946 or so. But I have a couple of motors that are quite a bit newer or older than the equipment they're being used on. Some have plates like that, and one ancient shaper is getting a similar plate made for a new motor and VFD.

Expect in one hand, expectorate in the other. See which one gets full first.

Todays task was to measure up for the bolts to mount the motor to the lathe but? there is this plate bolted to the bottom of the motor and its unclear if its supposed to be there.? Either way the bolts dont seem to line up with the bracket on the lathe.? Is this second plate supposed to be there
?
Pics for clarification
