Evening Chaps :dremel: A wee bit more done today, welded up the frame and added the casters. Then got distracted :Doh: I blame Pete :poke: --- Quote ---Looking forward to seeing how you stop the machine going walkabout, and how you put up with the noise. Pete --- End quote --- Well, I just had to see how load the phase converter will be. Workshop at rest, nowt running. Phase converter power is on. Phase converter running no load. See that's not loud to my ears, maybe I am going deaf :lol: , so I rigged up an extension lead and powered up one of the mills 5hp spindle motor plus coolant and power feed motors running, noise levels stopped about the same and no movement of the phase converter .

If it gets to noisy you can always shove it outside on a fine day! Nice job mate, makes me realise how blessed I am to have 3 phase in. Mind you, it took a right dust up with the old man before he would stump up his half of it! (not) Happy days! Phil |

I use a samsung tablet and when the pics are too big you can touch the screen and press view picture / save pic ect. |
| Pete W.:
Please be gentle with me if this is a silly question: :scratch: :scratch: :scratch: :scratch: When you make a welded frame of hollow section and with totally closed corners, do you have to drill a hole somewhere to let the section 'breathe' while the weld pool is still liquid? |

Looking good Rob. I guess one of my problems is that it is so quiet here. :) If the mill itself is running, the noise from the inverter is not noticeable, BUT unfortunately I have to have the inverter operating to generate the 110v for the DRO. If the DRO is off, then nothing can be moved or else the readings are thrown out. It's not quite so bad, now the unit is on the other side of a 6" wall, but still obtrusive enough. My unit only sits on its original rubber pads, so I have to re-visit it every so often to put it back where it should be. :scratch: Pete |
