Similar concept applied with English wheel. tiny area being ormed at any one time, but huge overall change in the sheet. My fondest recollection of sheet metal forming goes back to our days racing speedway bikes and flat track. When we managed to smash up a fuel tank from the inevitable...

I hope people are reading this area of the forum, and let me appologize if the channel in this link is already featured somewhere on the site. An extremely unique and interesting video on how one company is forming sheet metal without dedicated fixed tooling.

That was one of the first things I did. They took a look at these two pictures and threw their hands up. They would have to open the motor to figure out where the wires go, but I should be able to do that by metering the existing terminals (which is what I think I will do). From what I can...

Here is what I am seeing. I have to say, attaching a pic with this site's software is fantastic. 6 wires as you would expect with any dual voltage motor, but what makes it hard to do with just an ohmeter is that it has to be able to reverse. To make matters worse, it is cap start and cap run...

That That is the manual I have. Does not have same labelling on wiring, does not show the motor connection board with 110 to 220 jumpers, does not identify the rotary switch terminals (VERY different from the 4 x 2 set of contacts). I have mapped the rotary switch so no mystery there, it has...

thanks. There are several versions of that manual on the interwebs, but this is the only one I have seen the covers the connecting wires to motor - but of course very different for single phase to get reverse rotation and dual voltage.

Thought I should update this thread. Found a bent stub shaft in the end of the member that rotates the clamping mechanism for top clamp. Made a tool to straighten it in place - works well now. Had to drill and tap leaf handle hole and make new lever. Also made some support bars missing from...

Thanks, will call them tomorrow. Hope it has same wiring. Data plate in English (have lots of Chinese friends if needed to sort translation, but nothing to translate).

Beautiful manual and no question this thing is a clone, but wiring quite different. I have the correct manual and its wiring diagram shows 4 wires going to the motor, but no ident as to which wire is which wire. Similarly instead of a rotary switch with terminal numbers it just shows a set or...

The motor ID plate IS the source of incorrect/insufficient information. I have mapped the rotary switch but without being able to identify the 4 wires the do motor CW and motor CCW can't do those connections. It clearly shows how to switch the windings from parallel to series (i.e. 110 to...

'LARGE" is not a size. You will get a lot more interest by finding the brand name, swing over the bed, swing over the cross slide, gap or not, distance between centers, electric voltage, motor HP, chuck size, other tooling included, and on it goes. When you say "accurate" what do you mean...

A few years back one of the long time machine and welding shops (Frank's) shut down for owner to retire. I wanted some momento but was out of country for the sale, so had my wife buy a milling machine and band saw. The mill is a little vertical dovetail Zay 7045FG. Chinese made I assume but...

Bought a second (much nicer than first) Marvel 8 at auction 2 months ago, and suspected estate sale and more tools to follow. Forgot about the 28 day thing in Feb so missed sale by a few hours. When I checked catalogue, there was a matching set of 48" Brown Boggs foot shear, box and pan brake...

Yankee Doodle Dandy poundage. The rules around trailers have a break point similar to the one for trucks. 26k is where you go from virtually no regulation and no enforcement to the structure of things such as actual brake performance requirements. For tagalong trailers, that's a minimum of...

There has been ABS in all class 8 trailers for 30 years now. Trailers with farmyard junk axles (read: Dexter) don't have enough brake to stop safely. The basics of convergent yaw stability in any vehicle is to have more force (i.e. braking effort) aft of the CofG. Towing a typical piece of...
