My dad was in Tokyo at the end of the war. He brought home a 25 mm micrometer which had been damaged, then given a new serial number, with the female screw assembly made from copper and hand-scribed

Re: Finally workbench for my lathe
What size is is the motor shaft? A DC motor could work, and if it doesn't, I could put it on my bandsaw. I'm easy. Not cheap, but easy. :) Bill in OKC --------------------------------------------

Re: Finally workbench for my lathe
Having had a 220 V, 3/4 HP AC motor running my 12 x 36 Atlas for the last 50 years I would like to know the advantages of upgrading to a 3/4 HP Consew? At $132.49 cheaper than replacing my original

VFD upgrades
Greetings group... while I have recently upgraded from my 1036 model ¡°d¡± (I think) atlas to a 12¡± (model 101.28990)... but with VFD discussion, I have this... an old bandsaw I repowered with a

Re: Royal live center
You can make super good parts anywhere in the world. All you have to do is establish the standards and enforce them. The race to the lower price is generally a loser for anyone. Get Outlook for

Re: Finally workbench for my lathe
Hi Raymond , The VFD¡¯s that I am familiar with ( Hitachi and Yaskawa) , are current limited / protected . . . So if the motor attempts to draw more current than the VFD is capable of delivering ,

Re: Royal live center
I'm not making one, I'm repairing an old one that was really good equipment once upon a time. Will be again. I have one of the asian rolling centers. It's not bad. It just isn't good. I'm thinking I

Re: Royal live center
Mine's #2 so everything should apply. Bearing prices are really all over the place! McMaster has the 3202 for $41.63, Motion Industries probably want double and you need to bend over to take delivery.

Re: Finally workbench for my lathe
Carvel: You don't see any possibility of an over-current condition burning up the VFD? If that is a 1Hp motor and it is put under a heavy load the electrical demand in Watts (or joules if you want to

Re: Royal live center
Bill If you make a live center don't use soft steel make it form tool steel, the center part needs to be hardened. Now if you figure the cost of the steel and bearing you can save if you buy a live

Re: Royal live center
Does yours have the MT2 or MT3 shank? I see they made them up to MT5, mine is MT2. I've got some scraps of metal here I could make into a 2-piece collar, for that matter. Spent way too much money

It wasn't the Atlas I was talking about there, but its new companion, a South Bend Heavy 10L toolroom lathe. Also known as a gunsmith's lathe. I can see it needing a heavier motor. Uses 5C collets

I am firm believer to buy Original American made replacement parts. I did find that the American brand bearings are made in china as well so how can you change that. I bean buying bearings from VXB

Re: Royal live center
I used the same bearing, good clean up and new grease did the trick. A good new bearing isn't real cheap. McMaster has them around $40.00 for the 3202 open bearing, Chinese are cheaper but...... I
