    6 Wire Motor Wiring - Check me?

    Thank you both for the information. Based on this discussion. I should follow the diagram as indicated in my first post? Short U1V1W1 and apply VFD output to U2, V2, and W2?

    6 Wire Motor Wiring - Check me?

    I still have the drum switch wired correctly and I took photos before disassembly. How might this help me?

    6 Wire Motor Wiring - Check me?

    Hi All, Working on getting my new to me mill going. I had thought I had gotten this figured out but I thought about it too long and I think I confused myself. Since It will be difficult to find another motor I want to get some additional opinions from the group here before applying the power...

    Bridgeport Clone Reconditioning

    Hi All, It's been a few days since my last post and I have been a busy one. I've also been sad, angry, proud, happy, and irritated but that's what happens when you take on something new and exciting you've never done before. I elected to go and rent the pallet jack again to move the machine...

    I am interested in adapting a Fanuc robot controller to a homemade 6 axis robot. I know Fanuc programming but I have no knowledge of the actual requirements from the hardware side. Are you aware if it is possible to use the fanuc teach pendant and software to control a non fanuc robot?

    Bridgeport Clone Reconditioning

    I’ll start by saying thanks to the cool folks here. After posting about a clone in the antique forum, much thought and encouragement. It’s here at the house and it needs some TLC. I hope this is the correct place. It seems to be even after reading the forum/sub rules. Please educate me if not...

    Newbie here, Hoping for some direction finding info on a "Well - Setting" vertical mill

    Thanks again to everyone. I got the machine home with minimal excitement. I appreciate the help. I’ll be posting more about my journey but I think this thread has served it’s purpose. Thank you all.

    Wow, what a wonderful response from all of you. I appreciate the time. It's nice to see so many folks offering expertise or assistance for an entry level person as myself. As far as loading, the seller has an overhead crane and the ability to load. My plan is to rent a hydraulic/level load...

    Newbie here, Hoping for some direction finding info on a "Well - Setting" vertical mill

    Wonderful suggestions here. Thank you all. Some information. R8 collets included. Looked Like a full set. DRO was metric and inch. My comment on metric was related to the shafts the various control handles mount to. It was just a strange comment the seller made I thought. I inspected as...

    Newbie here, Hoping for some direction finding info on a "Well - Setting" vertical mill

    Hi all, I have been viewing these forums off and on for a bit but never had a reason to make an account until today. I've been dabbling in the idea of getting stronger in my machining/metal working abilities. I've done a few things with Chinese specials but I finally decided it's time to get...
