With our reducing magnetic field, we don't need as large a solar event to cause the same problem as the Carrington Event you referred to. So, expect problems. On 05-Feb-25 1:20, davesmith1800 wrote:

Hoist

Here's the installation of our hoist. Just a little one, took almost it's full rating to lift the milling machine with the motors removed. In this one you can see the motor that eventually wound up on the band saw. We put this up in a temporary location to haul some heavy stuff inside. self lifting My wife and I built a frame for it Back up to the rafters Put on wheels (flanged bearings). I used extra long bolts so if a bearing fails the bolt will catch on the I-beam. And it's done I need to add a pulleys at the ends of the I-beam to make a rope pull system for this. But, it rolls ok even with 400kg on it!

It has been on a 10K lathe too. I purchased new around 1972. I have cross slide screw with the new dial for direct reading. Dave Sent from AT&T Yahoo Mail on Android

Grizzly 7x14 owner

I have a Grizzly 7x14 that I fitted with a ER-32 collet chuck. It was improved with a steel gearset and I "fixed" a ton of things that were machined wrong on it to make it more suitable. An OXA quick change toolpost was a must have for me and I outfitted it with narrow nosed live center. The end thrust setup on the leadscrew was janky, so I machined a nicer setup for it. I was very disappointed with the drive motor mount, so I made a radiused and counterbored flat plate to mount it. I cleaned the casting pimples off the mounting area and made thicker stepped washers in order to give it better support. In the end, I had to modify the splash pan a little to compensate for the added dimension of the plate, but the end result was what I was after.
