Re: Phase Converter Wanted
Some one here posted a pdf? where he subjected his phaseperfect
to analysis? with an oscilloscope along with a rotary.? The rotary
put? out smoother power and? could be adjusted the Phaseperfect?
put out choppy dirty power

I see phase converters for sale come up here occasionally.? Total
load (3 separate motors) for my new machine is under 3hp.? Either
208 or 460 v works.? I think I prefer a digital to a rotary for
the lower noise and easier mounting.? Are any available out there?

Re: Sliding Table Saw Felder K700 S - Minnesota
I paid $7k for a 2003 k700s. It had very few miles on it, I thought it was only a year or two old when I first looked at it. From what I understand, when the x-roll came out it was quite an improvement over the older slider bearing system. I was looking for a single phase saw, but I bought this one anyway as it was local and I had been looking for a while with no luck.

I have only tapped may be 3 dozen holes total, in steel and AL. I have cut 1.25”x1/2“ steel bar with hack saw and it actually takes just a little longer than my friends horizontal band saw (nothing fancy). Although, on band saw, I can gang up multiple bars.
I have cut AL with router and carbide bits and while it makes a mess it is not hard.
Here are the slider nuts, while they do not have the awesome look that can be achieved with machining, they are more than fine for intended purpose and look a whole lot better than what felder sent me for the xcut fence. These were shaped with grinder and sanded with RO90 60, 100 & 180 grits. Higher finish is possible, I just did not spend the time.
Also attached is a Big Squeeze housing that I just sanded with a block of wood (cannot find my sanding block) in straight line motion. I took it to 500 grit using Platin.
If you want perfection see attached pdf. Ignore comment of 100 sanding discs as there were bunch of housings.
There are experts here and I am a novice for metal working. Just thought I share if it helps anyone embark on something new.

So the tires showed up today. Quick trip from Austria. I looked at the video showing the ratchet. interesting idea but I do not think that will work for me. according to Felder I am supposed to spread a thin layer of? adhesive onto the tire and wheel then install the tire. I did not think that would work with contact adhesive. So i researched the 3M adhesive and you can use it in a "wet bond" application. essentially you don't let it completely dry like a standard contact adhesive.?
? ? So working quickly I spread the adhesive and while still slightly wet installed the tires. It was a bit challenging but I was still able to adjust positioning of the tire before it was dry. Only time will tell if this solution solves the problem.

Cliff, I was born and raised in Norfolk UK (emigrated because of the 690 days of rain per year) and yes there are some beautiful thatched rooves there (rooves being the traditional spelling but now commonly spelt roofs).....did you notice the windows in your attached photo? they were stone frames with lead sashes...

Here's another example from near near me in Sussex. It's a restaurant called the Ginger Fox. Hence the additions to the roof thatch.

one more thing
When hand tapping? using a cutting tap or die ( as opposed to a
forming tap or die) Drive the tap in? about half a turn ( or so)?
and then back it out? a half turn (or so).? You will figure this
out? the forst time you do it.? What is happening is? you need to
"Break the Chip" that was forming as the tap or die cut into the
material.?
Backing it off like that? will? do a few things (1)? Replenish
the lube at the cutting? edges, (2) snap that off and make things
progress easier, (3)? it makes it way more possible? to extract a
broken tap and? (4) way less likely? that you will snap a tap.?

i used the 1/2-13 tap first time today and it broke mid way
in 1/2” CR1018 steel bar. yes, i did drill 27/64” hole with the
drill that came with the tap. just curious, folks with metal

I try to stay larger than 1/4" when hand tapping and use a Procunier or tapmatic whenever possible.? Hand tapping is turn about 1/4-1/2 turn and back off.? If you are tapping #4-40, buy a million taps and be ready to be frustrated.? I have a lot of English
machines and my Whitworth sets have three taps per size.? Start with the undersized one and move up as needed.? Downside is they are made in India and I've never found much in precision in tooling from there.? Dave
