    ISO220 / ISO32 oil give-away

    I have a large quantity (6 55-gal drum barrels) of ISO 220 oil (one barrel has been opened), and about 30gal remaining in a 55GAL barrel of ISO-32 oil.

    3D printed Oil Cups......

    The mystery shaper that I'm working originally came with press-fit oil cups in variety of sizes (4mm, 6mm, 8mm). I attempted to use ball-oilers..... which were 'ok' on the larger sizes, but I found the 4mm ball-oiler really tough to use as the ball is extremely small. I decided to 3d Print a...

    Running a 380V 3ph motor on 220v 3ph

    I managed to decipher the motor badge on the 3ph motor I pulled off a shaper. The motor turns out to be 380V. Well, it seems to run fine on 220V 3ph power from a phase convertor as I had previously started it there. From what I googled, if the motor has 6 leads exposed, and you wire it...
