    Crossfeed screw castle nut/cotter pin

    Hi All! So over the years, I've had slop accumulate in my 10EE's crossfeed. Having many other things more pressing, I just worked through it by accomodating the slack in my operation, but the slop seems to have started increasing at times, and I'm getting rather bad at accomodating the math, so...

    J.A. Fay & Co #1 bandsaw

    Hi All! Just posting pix of the J.A. Fay #1 bandsaw I've rescued: Blasting off the loose paint... and there was a bunch. Many layers. Before anyone asks... I purposely chose NOT to strip this old gal bare. Why? Because there's original paint under all that. If I strip it bare, then when...

    Advice on plasma torch

    Hi All! I just acquired a well-seasoned, yet very good condition CNC plasma system, which came with a Thermal Dynamics PAK1000XR. It's rated output is 80A @115v. The torch on the table is a common inline 'machine' type torch, and I was advised that the type was common a decade or two ago, but...

    Haas-Kamp conversion for Miller CP-300, and CP-302 200-230-460

    Hi All- Recently, I got some inquiries about conversion of the Miller CP-series that are set up for 200/230/460v 3 phase. If you've read the threads on my conversions of the 230/460v versions of the CP-200, you'll note that there's wiring on the primary side (phasing and capacitors) as well as...

    ESAB A10-160K 3 phase to Single-phase via Haas-Kamp method

    Okay, so guys frequently send me messages asking me if some particular machine can be converted. When that happens, I take a look at the drawings, sketch a diagram, do a rough calculation of capacitor values, identify wires to move, and then turn 'em loose to try it. I don't mind helping guys...

    Hi All- Question: The backgear gearbox output shaft... some 10EEs have a flat drive belt, some have twin V-belts... The gearbox shaft... are they all the same? i.e., could one remove a flat-belt pulley from a gearbox shaft and move it to a gearbox that HAD dual V-belts, and vise-versa... or...

    Possible alternative to the STEVECO potential relay

    Hi All- For those who build their own RPC, the frequent choice for start-capacitor control is the STEVECO potential relay. Because it's a for-purpose device, it is often challenged to be used starting some frequently much-larger-than-intended loads in our rotary phase converters. Because of...

    Bullard 40 transport questions

    Hi All! Okay, so I might have an opportunity to snag and drag a 40" Bullard VTL home. Obviously it's too heavy to carry on a tandem-axle 10K trailer... guessing it's somewhere around 25-30K... How hard is it to break this thing down into small enough bites for me to carry home? If so, how...
