i use a lathe for the extractor cut. A lot use the same method
Is there a thread/video anywhere demo'ing how you do it? I'm interested in seeing the process

Parts can be a problem for any break-down these days, no matter what machine or device. Buy either a Griz or PM and have a problem requiring a new 'part' and you may find yourself waiting. The worlds a changing, and it may never return to what we knew. The same might be said for a used piece of "old American iron".

dont think you need to log on to see the add.
This one is in Canada. I believe we generally have 480v and some 600v 3 phase but have to look into it some more.550 v 3 phase
That's kind of an oddball voltage here in the States?
Here's a question. If you only have 240v single phase and want to run a 3 phase motor using a vfd does the 3 phase motor need to be a 240v 3phase?550v is the canadian equiv to out 480v. They use it in the same places we would have 480. You can run it on 480 but the current will be a bit high and shorten its life. If you dont have 480 available youll need to just replace the motor with the correct voltage
It needs to be 3P, yes. The voltage could be 200-240, etc. The VFD allows you to set the voltage, 200, 220, 240. At least the Hitachi VFD’s I’ve worked with do.Here's a question. If you only have 240v single phase and want to run a 3 phase motor using a vfd does the 3 phase motor need to be a 240v 3phase?
I think youll find either 208/220 motors easily and thats what youll needHere's a question. If you only have 240v single phase and want to run a 3 phase motor using a vfd does the 3 phase motor need to be a 240v 3phase?
Its homemade. I can find the center no prob!Your tool holder is missing something
Dusty, here's my upgrade. With a flex shaft you can rule the world!Heres a pic of my lathe setup. It uses a .125 carbide end mill.
I have a one lathe with a milling attachment which replaces the compound tool rest. The barrel is held in the milling attachment, the cutting tool (end mill) is held in a tool holder in the lathe spindle (3MT). It's been years since I've done it. Sorry, no pictures but I hope that brief description gives you an idea.Is there a thread/video anywhere demo'ing how you do it? I'm interested in seeing the process
Yes! I made a split sleeve in order to hold the flex shaft handle in a QCTP boring bar holder. Very good set up, allows you to many things easily, with pretty good control and accuracy with humble Dremel.Dusty, here's my upgrade. With a flex shaft you can rule the world!![]()
I have a flex shaft and one of those foredom tools. There was something about the flex shaft i didnt like in this application but i cant remember what it was. My flex shaft came in one of those kits that had a bunch of other stuff ill never useDusty, here's my upgrade. With a flex shaft you can rule the world!

while may be true - can we keep one thread on topic lately please.
