The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

hi andy,

you got this manual?

is there a chance you can post it on circuit schematics or the wiki.

thanks

leandro

yes,

its the same distributor as in the uk.

write protape. they supply them in the states through an important audio gear rental house located in long island city in ny.

best,
leandro

on srandalone rack with power supply.

how about stylus.
have you tried with a new one?

anyone has a spare telescopic shaft and perhaps and extra leather/rubber disc & couplers to connect a lyrec motor to oil bearing?

asking around before sending parts to machinist.

thanks!

but before the micromaster, shouldn't this way of creating 2-phase be better than with the cap-cheat: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-phase_electric_power here in the states you can add a 240V breaker to the electric panel and then come down from it to a split phase trafo. should work better than...

hehe, im not asking... what i'd like to know about the lyrec is if there is a member here that has ran them feeding the 2 winding from a regular 3 phase feed and if it does run quieter than with the cap cheat.. even though.. this would make more sense towards the direction of this thread, which is i...

I don't know about that....

there are 2 windings per speed... not 3.

unless im missing something i dont know how you would feed 3 phases into a lyrec

I He sugested me to use another (real 3 phase) motor. There should be no problem in pitch of the platter because there is the screw and the clutch which absorb all the speed irregularities... I have this in mind but didn't try it. I hope this helps (at least just a bit) :) that's interesting. i thi...

publishing this one here, although it might belong to the playback section.

Really good read and found that Instead of using an image/photo editor the progr...

whew! good to hear that!

thanks for sharing your metal working technische!

is the taig mill a good option to cut holes other than standard circles?
is it manually operated or does it work like a pre programmed cnc machines?

I broke down my drill press when I got my mill. I am as accurate as my drill press. I've had a few drill presses and they all have a lot of runout. If the hole needs to be perfectly round or I need a cut out use the mill. that sucks, blown motor? were you press drilling on thin aluminum when that h...

I'm glad you got the timer going. It looks cool. I'm getting better at the metalwork. Here is a compressor faceplate I did recently. Better dots, more accurate layout and better definition of the hand stamps. I've improved on the dots again by using flat end mills instead of drill point countersink...

had fun watching this.
great sense of humor.

do they know there how many 7" presses they have there?

yes, i've had this issue before.
though i cant remeber if it was with an nsh adamant.
it was very frustrating and i proceded the same way you did.
last time this happened i prevented myself from disaligning the whole suction system again and addressed the stylus right away.

i think its the stylus too.

try going back to your previous stylus and do some test cuts.
see how it behaves.

if you are planning to open the bearing, make sure you are ready to collect every single drop of the oil!! have u spotted a depth variation in your cuts due to vibration from the motor? i dont recommend you going there unless u know its a last measure! deal! that bearing can be very tricky. the oil ...

how do i set the advanced ball for the cutting depth on my westrex 3d? so i said in the another topic i building self a lathe, and i must adjust everything. how much pressure must the stylus have? jukebox, if you are going for the spring-dashpot system, you prob will need to try different spring ga...
