Grant There is no simple wiring solution to that problem. It requires that you remove the NVR and put it at the end of a flying lead. I am opting out at this point. Bill

Grant The pics of the CL-3 lathe show that it is fitted with an NVR switch. As I said in my first post - you can not use NVR switches as Emergency Stop Button. They go to OFF when the voltage is removed. So pressing one to STOP will make the other go OFF as well (no voltage). So to start you...

We are talking at cross purposes. The Emergency Stop Button is a simple switch. With the button sticking out (it's normal position) it is ON and will stay that way till the end of time unless you push it. It with then latch in the OFF position until the button is twisted to reset it. Meanwhile...

Go and watch the Brendan Stemp video at 15mins, in Finneyb's posting Bill

Can I say that using a NVR switch as an emergency stop will not work if the lathe is equipped with a NVR switch, but it would stop you accidentally starting it as both buttons would have to be pressed simultaneously. I suggest that you buy an emergency stop button like...

Crafty I have had a look at the Paoson site. I do not understand why you bought 25mm ID bearings when 16mm ID are available at circa £6.50 each. http://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/Bearings/c3/index.html or am I missing something? Bill

Sorry for this OT reply. It might get deleted by a mod :lol: For those following this thread. Rob gave me a lift to Axi yesterday and had previously sucked me into having to make a pen. This after 10 years or rubbishing pen making. The net result is my credit card took a bashing on bushings...

Just to clarify. If in fact the scrolls are the same and rotate in the same direction to tighten, then the carriers would mount in the same order. If the scrolls rotate in different directions to tighten, then one is a 'left hand thread' and the other a 'right hand thread' and the carriers...

You can get a verdigris kit from http://www.fredaldous.co.uk/gedeo-bronze-undercoat-30ml.html See bottom of page for other half of kit. It is a long time since I used any I think I also used a fixer spray to seal the effect. Never used rust effect so no first hand knowledge. Bill

The inverter=NVR switch. (Defined as 'when the power comes back it don't run) Guessing now cos I'm too lazy to find the manual for the inverter. I suspect the inverter will reboot to it's default state and wait for a change of state from the on/off switch before it will start up the motor. In...

The push/pull is not an NVR. It works a low voltage to tell the inverter to do the disconnect. It is the inverter, as an entity, that acts as an NVR switch by the fact that it reboots if you disconnect then restore the power. Think of the inverter as your computer. If you are reading this in...

Just to clarify. The single phase mains is wired direct to the inverter and the three phase from the inverter to the motor. Speed control, on/off and reverse, of the motor, are controlled by a low voltage circuits to the inverter. If you switched the inverter on and off then you would have to...

What happen to the old art of 'skip diving'. Being a Yorkshire man and send someone to a retail outlet will get you ex-communicated. Bill

There is no doubt that it has a 'significant' lean but difficult to ascribe it to wear. It looks as if someone has tried to modify the banjo to take a larger tool post. I once had the Perform brand of this lathe and bought mid length tool rest. It came with a 1" (25.4mm) stem and the Perform...

I think the Axi http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-hobby-series-awvsl1000-woodturning-lathe-501268 is the same lathe and they will have parts. I would check whether your tool rest is not bent as wear on the banjo to give a significant lean sounds a bit unlikely unless I am misunderstanding...

Why not go to http://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/Belts-V-Belts-Z-Section-V-Belts-10x6mm/c4601_4790_4693/index.html for a Z23 Belt. You are out £3.38 + VAT if you/me are wrong. Bill

Just to confuse the issue. There is a 1 1/4" x 7tpi UNC. http://www.carbidedepot.com/formulas-tap-standard.htm Bill

I have one you can borrow and try out. It does do a good job of parting off but not as good as a skew chisel on producing a good end grain face. I am expecting to see you later this week, to pick up a lathe for the Berkshire Woodturners newbie try out evening. Will email details. Bill

Well you are easy to buy for and not going to break the bank. http://www.davidreedsmith.com/Articles/ShadowSphereJig/ShadowSphereJig.htm Merry Christmas Bill
