I've been using the Blondiehacks thing, an over sized felt pen, works well. Cheap like borsht at the dollar store.

I'm interested in coming, can I get a heads up ?

The final solution, really not very complicated, not sure if it meets code though. LOL I re connected the original 220 v intended for my lathe and then ran a 110 outlet to feed the lathe from one phase. The circuit is connected to a double pole 20 amp breaker, so both outlets should be...

I'm tending to agree, I originally ran a 220 volt line for my lathe, but ended up running it on 110, so the line in place, just some rewiring there. I've changed 220 motors to 110 before and thought it would just be another simple change of a couple of wires. Thanks for your help

Here are some pic, I've changed the wiring to the 110 v configuration here, but I'm thinking there might be some component replacement involved, specifically the 220/24 v transformer. Thinking it might just be easier to run a 220 v line when it comes down to it. Of course the Chenglish...

So, the mill I bought is a King model 31, which I also see described as a PDM 30. As it came, it's set up to run on 220 v, but the manual apparently allows for conversion to 110v and there are instructions in the motor junction box, which I have followed. It ain't working. Am I missing something ?

Thanks gentlemen.

I guess it's a basic question. Should I include vibration damping in the installation or not ? or does it really matter ? The mill is a King 31, weighs around 300 kg. and the stand is similar to this, except of course to accommodate the increased weight and size.

I finally bit the bullet and bought a real mill, am a little conflicted about the mounting. I built a heavy duty wood stand to carry it, question being, is it better to mount it solidly or with a rubber vibration damper ?

Reminds me of the story about a tool being required to write in space, The Americans spent millions to get it right, the Russians just used pencils.
