SWMBO accepted mine today. Cheers for organising it. Keep us informed about the grinder GB please
as you no mate, if you could pop me down on the list for the motor please, that would be great.Good they are starting to arrive, the belts are due to arrive tomorrow for the belt group buy so it will be a hectic few days getting those away and as soon as we have that out of the way we will be sorting a motor for these.
There is a motor conversion...in progress. There are a few things require adjustment...the second one is always the better. I have went for a vertical because this is what I am used to.
Motor has a standard B14 flange and foot mount. 1 hp continious rated. This is a 3 phase and is getting an inverter drive.
The plate, extra holes were for trial. 6mm steel. So this will work the other way too, turned down 90 degrees.
Mounted with countersink cap heads. M6 x 12mm
It requires drilling four 6mm holes into the Bluepoint attachment.
Simple modification to the table. Plastic shim washers because the angle iron is less than 6mm.
Angle adjustment arrangement.
Shaft is 19mm, a bit of sorting still required at this end.
So David got everything together today, we gave it a wee test run tonight and it all works as it should.
As mentioned previously this is the all singing all dancing version with an inverter for speed control, we wanted to start with this one so we could see what speed would be best for the single speed version.
Only a quick and rough video to show it working, hopefully we will get a better look at it tomorrow night and a video of it in use.
