Shop on the old barn
George Konstantinidis:
And the best thing about Greece, you can get residential 3-phase if you ask for it. My home is in Samos, parents still live there and I am always envious of the 3-phase. We converted an old olive oil press into our home but there is still so much storage and warehousing space, I could easily install all my machines there 2 times....
Καλές δουλείες σου εύχομαι φίλε. Wishing you many good jobs.
dominus:
Ευχαριστώ πολύ φιλε.
Σάμος ειπες... πέρασα μερικούς ενδιαφέροντες μήνες στο 649...
I never understood why is so difficult to get 3-phase on the rest of the world.
phase perfect, rotary phase converter, etc i keep reading all this stuff on formuns and :doh:
dominus:
Next is the drill press.
I really love those machines...
It's the most used tool on the shop but yet not many appreciate them as much as they deserve.
"Smile of same" is the phrase to describe those iron-workers.
I can't -and i will not- consider as machinist a fellow who realize that is drilling the table and continues.
So the very 1st dill press i bought was an Chinese example from the scap pile.
Also it was the 1st machine i tried to restore.
The motor was shot, the main spindle was broken and re-welded on the chuck using stick weld without any care for concentricity.
I wasn't expecting more for $30 and it was a fun project.
Also my 1st VFD conversion.
Not many pictures but something to start this -BIG- chapter.
Hope you enjoy.
John Rudd:
Nice housing for the vfd :bow:
Quite a nice shop you have too......can never have enough space... :coffee:
dominus:
After that was time for some Italian iron.
Not something fancy, belt drive, 2 speed motor.
Smile of shame? sure enough was there.
