    Phase convertor

    So after watching the video posted by Housey210 I think VFD is possibly the way forward. I'm not interested in getting a 3ph suply put in, I just want to run two machines I currently own, any future purchases will be 240v single phase, simple as that. I'm not interested in future proofing...

    Phase convertor

    Still making no sense to me chaps. Back to my original question - can I buy a thing to make these 2 motors work from my barns 240v supply or do they need new 240v motors?

    Phase convertor

    If I swapped the motor for a single phase motor, surely it would just require a new on/off switch an do away with all the old 3ph electrics altogether? I won't be buying any more 3ph tools as my barn doesn't have 3ph and I don't plan on having it put in. So whatever route I take will purely be...

    Phase convertor

    All of the above makes no sense to the none electrical minded like myself. I could just buy a new sinle ph motor and pulley, there are ways and means of making an old imperial pulley fit a metric shaft, which with my engineering background sounds a much simpler task. And as for power demand of...

    Phase convertor

    I'll take a photo of the tag on the motors and post them up, hopefully that'll get me some info to point me in the right direction. Without going into too much detail, I'd like to be told I need to get this, this and this, so I can just get it done. Time is money, and I have neither.

    Phase convertor

    I'm moving out of my 3ph workshop into the barn at home which is only single phase. I only have a table saw and old Myfold ML8 lathe that are 3ph, so looking to get a phase convertor to power them until I replace the motors with suitable single phase units. What are peoples recomendations on...

    Book Shelves

    I did suggest verneered ply, but the customer said no.

    I did considder ply, but working it on my own in my small shop would be too difficult, especially the amount needed.

    Book Shelves

    I've spoken to a timber suplier who has suggested amongst other types, ash as a good timber to use. Has anyone else used ash for a similar project?

    Book Shelves

    Thanks for the replies. I'll price with construction grade pine and white wood and see what the customer says. It was their request to go with pine due to the size and cost of the job. I did suggest other types of timber but they didn't want it.

    Book Shelves

    It's too expensive and a bit on the thin side. Also kind of defeats the object of having a workshop full of tools 😂

    Book Shelves

    I have a home library to quote for. It will be wall to wall bookcases, floor to ceiling and around 300mm deep. The customer has requested it be made of pine due to the quantity required and cost of materials, so I was wonderring the best approach for making such wide boards to minimise cupping...

    Hinge help

    I've got some flush fitting door to hang in some eaves storage with outward opening doors mounted within a face frame. I am hoping to use Euro style cabinet hinges, but can't find what type I need to order as they all seem to be for the door to be at a right angle when closed. (See attached...

    Long Clamp Advice

    I recently bought some 6' long sash clamps off ebay, 4 for £75. They didn't turn up on time so I had to improvise with my shorter cheapo aluminium bodied sash clamps by removing the sliding ends and drilling and bolting the bar sections together leaving the tightening end on each end - it...

    The cheek on some people!

    In their defense, if they were not from round your way then they may have thought it was the correct bin without looking in it. Our recycling bin is brown and garden waste green. At least it was in a bin and they at least tried to keep your village tidy. I too live in a village and the thing I...
