    Okuma LS Gear Specifications

    I sent you a PM too, but do you have the part number for that? Thanks!

    Interesting Morse taper adapter, opinions?

    I wish I could, it’s an eBay listing. I might have to buy one just for the novelty of it. It’s listed as an mt6 to 5 adapter, which I could use….but I‘m not sure they really know what it is. Being stamped 5 on the tang makes me doubtful.

    Interesting Morse taper adapter, opinions?

    I ran across this the other day, it’s wound like a spring. Any opinion or information on these? i couldn’t find any info about them anywhere, I might have to get my mother in law to translate the German for me.

    New Okuma LS owner with questions

    I just got an Okuma LS as well. I’m pretty excited to get it started, as soon as I clean the decades of filth off of it. I’ve pm’d some of you, does anyone have a pdf of the parts list and manual?

    Braking resistor on derated VFD

    Ah hell, I don’t know why that didn’t click for me on the resistance values. That makes perfect sense. Thanks!

    Braking resistor on derated VFD

    Ok, I’m not seeing the problem…the 3kw IS 5hp, the 7kw IS 10hp. I’m pretty new to this level of complication with drives and transformers though, so I’m all ears. I’m stepping up 240v single phase to 480v single phase with a 10kva transformer. That will feed the 10hp 3 phase drive I have, which...

    Braking resistor on derated VFD

    I should be good then. I picked up a huge old wire wound ceramic 50 ohm resistor. Hell, it might be 2kw judging by the dimensions compared to other similar ones. It’s 2.75” x 20”. I’m certain it’s plenty big enough to occasionally stop a saw blade in a few seconds. $25 Off of eBay.

    Braking resistor on derated VFD

    JST, it seems you are also saying to go by the drive and not the motor size. The good news is that this is going on a saw, so stopping it won’t be hard to do, not like a big lathe.

    Braking resistor on derated VFD

    I’m going to be powering a 5hp motor with a 10hp Danfoss fc51 VFD that I picked up. It will be run on 480v single phase (already have the transformer). what I can’t figure out is whether I should be sizing the braking resistor based off of the drive or the motor. Danfoss recommends a 44-56 ohm...

    WTB: Tracing of Di-Acro #2 bending nose, zero radius block.

    Mike, thank you so much…I got your message too. These look like they will be just what I need. It’ll be funny to compare my attempts with these!

    WTB: Tracing of Di-Acro #2 bending nose, zero radius block.

    I‘m going crazy trying to figure out the geometry of this thing. I have some nutec 42 to make it out of, I just can’t get the exact dimensions guessed at quite right. If anyone can trace theirs I’d be most appreciative. if you trace it, you could scan and email it to me with a length and width...

    Help ID big old cutters

    That was what I thought I was buying when I bid on the lot! There’s a huge roundover cutter in with the mix, so I guess that counts for something. I don’t have a shaper to run something even close to it’s size though. It’s all a lot bigger than it looked in the pictures, and there was a lot more...

    Help ID big old cutters

    That’s what I thought! Surely they were milling slots in a different material with them. Could it have been aluminum? These all seem to be carbide, at least judging by the way some of them are chipped. johnoder nailed it on a different cutter I have though. It’s a Goddard and Goddard 8”...

    Help ID big old cutters

    I have probably 60 of these in various sizes, all with just two brazed carbide cutters on them. A lot of them say Prop Air Force or US Prop. Some say 1 of 2 etc. on them. Most are 6-10” diameter, I measured and it looks like most fit a 1.75” arbor. what were they used for? I assume they went on...
