Re: Fusion 360
David B, Very accurate summary of Shapr3d. I end up using it as a quick prototyping tool for mocking up designs with decent rendering output and quick and dirty 2D dimensional drawings (I do pay for

Re: Drill Press Motors
Well, I (and presumably everyone else replying) assumed that your post was seeking suggestions, rather than an announcement. My other comment is that the idea that a 2HP motor is too dangerous for

Re: 3 phase power plugs/outlets
First, I would note all the different voltage standards are arbitrary, originally stemming from decisions made way back by Edison and Tesla in the original electricity wars.? Most people think that

Re: Fusion 360
David B., your helpful resources links to YouTube is astounding. I¡¯d say you need to publish a book, except that this is all video format. Is there a way to monetise your efforts to a wider

Re: Fusion 360
In Fusion, If you want to get rid of a component that¡¯s referenced later in the timeline, then use ¡°Remove¡± instead of ¡°Delete¡±. This action leaves all the reference context in the model but

Re: Drill Press Motors
No, it's not VFD dependent per se.? It's a law of physics.? But the actual usable power at any given kW of input can certainly vary significantly depending on the quality of the VFD and the motor.

Re: Drill Press Motors
On the question of VFDs and motor power, do some VFDs do a better job of regulating the speed while maintaining horsepower? Or is power reduced with RPMs no matter what? I ask because my drill press
