Thanks Bill just what I need , read the worshop practice book on motors last night , I was going to stripp the motor to check the windings this morning but will swap the wires first ,the difference in the resistance is 25 ohms between the windings . |
| BillTodd:
What is the winding resistance overall? if 25 ohms is a substantial part, then just swap the two start coil connections (N and Cap) Bill |

Thanks Bill got going the right way now , bought a fused spure box it was only a little bit more than a box and cover , set it up for the first job a 5" chuck from the scrap man jaws are belled out , it sound like a duck with the lathe running at 60 RPM , I have a 1 3\4 green stone from a valve grinder 9\16" BSF that I will make an arbor for and a guard . |

Turned out well Jeff, interested to see the results of your chuck truing. One of mine needs grinding, I bought a Wolf tool post grinder several years ago, and have not used it yet. Cheers David |

Cheers David --- End quote --- I am pleased to say the jaws turned out very well , the motor got hot and I had to stop several times to let it cool , bought some 2" fine stones made a guard from solid turned a coller revesed it in the reground jaws onlt a couple of thou out a few tapps got it running true , and bored the rest out bit of an oops on the length should have made it from a coller and bent a piece of steet round for a guard , I bought 5 chucks on ebay blurie photos he had cleaned the rust off with an angle grinder so thats the next test . |
