That's the beauty of type C - it will not disconnect when the motor starts. I think we already had similar discussion in some other thread. C13 will eventually disconnect if current is higher than rating. Might take more seconds to do so. Alternative is to change from B13 to B16 or B25. How...

You might need to change MCB to type C to run this motor. Normally, in house type B is used which is more sensitive for short duration surge of current. Induction motors usually require type C. From what I have tested 375W and 750W inductor motors works just fine with type B 13A. Just test it...

I don't remember which one I have mounted there exactly. I think original that comes with AC400 will work or any similar one that works with Arduino will. From my shopping history I can also see that I bought some called "KY-022 Infrared IR Sensor Receiver Module for Arduino". Same goes for...

I changed induction motor on my drill press because the one it came with had bent axel and was vibrating like hell... And since I was changing it I opted for 400V three phase one, that can be wired for 230V delta, and a good VFD. That costed like 200 EUR in total but now I can control the...

You mean on the orignal board? Then maybe you can share a picture of which one, just to have it documented here... I destroyed my board while trying to diagnose/fix it... fried the chip (MCU) with too high voltage (relays are 9V, iirc).

Sure, I don't mind sharing it. Though, I would go with version 1.2 instead, as in 1.0 version that I installed in my unit I have Arduino placed too close to the screw that holds the cover (that's why there is a gap of light in the middle of the case on the second photo). And the buzz as a bit...

Mine stopped switching to speed 2 and 3 after one or two years of mostly sitting plugged in, used it rarely... I looked at the internet, disassembled the thing, looked at the control board and decided to make my own instead of going the warranty road. It has cheaply engineered board that...

My requirements were similar and I also needed quiet machines. Found one dust extractor with maximum 69-70 dB - AL-KO Power Unit 120. It has also fine filter in it. There are similar ones made by other brands, like Metabo. Felder had RL series dust extractor of similar nature. I bought that...

I never trust non-OEM batteries and their prices are always too good to be true. I did build some batteries myself though. There are empty cases for Makita batteries that can be found on far east sites (even with BMS inside). As an example, real Sony VTC6 batteries that are high capacity and...

Yes, Jacob, you right. I've heard of course about winding sticks and I do check by eye (and by hand) too. If only it were from wood I would make it flat after gluing it together. But since it is plywood with plastic layer on top it requires different approach, unfortunately. Actually, I like my...

Sure, my workbench is my reference surface. That's why I also use it for glue ups. Flattened it with #7 hand plane, slightly concave in the middle, like a shaving deep. But I saw a video where just cutting straight ribs with a rail guide for torsion box was not enough - it was noticeably...

Thanks for this information, didn't think of that... So maybe that is only good for router table side and then MDF or wood on the other side? Or even incorporate that MFT table top only, like drop in replaceable part... Still not sure how to drill the holes though. I was hoping to use Peter...

I want to print more, maybe two dozens. The ones I modelled are for 19 mm holes. They are 8 mm tall and take M5x8 bolt in the middle. It is indeed easier to take them out with a magnet. Have to chamfer some of the holes more so that they sit below the surface though. I do also repairs on...

Actually, I'm about to build something MFT like myself this year - for power tools and also as router table where I can finally make use of Incra LS Positioner. Router plate has a magnetic cover for the hole when not in use and holes grid can be used to place that Incra contraption in desired...

Apparently, there are plugs for those holes too: MFT Plugs - Magnetic Stainless Steel. I experimented with 3d printing a similar plug. Added flat headed M5 screw in the middle to make it magnetic too. Works quite well.
