Another Fruitful Day in The Hills
Darren:
Thanks John, I keep forgetting about the suspended bottle trick, prob be good enough for this task.
Both the old 1/2hp and new 1hp motors are 4 pole, so I'll fit a smaller pulley on the motor. I doubt the one fitted is the correct size, prob just what was on the motor at the time.

I'm not sure that will work on this machine? But I'll go and have a look later with that info in mind and see.....thanks I wouldn't have thought of it... :thumbup:
Darren:
Nice find on the grinder Stew, the old ones have something about them don't they......like some metal in em.....!!
Mine has the usual grey wheel but on the other side is a Brown one, it's sorta mottled and is finer grained.
Any ideas what it is for, or is it just a finer wheel?
Darren:
Found this very informative page on grinding wheels......http://www.georgiagrindingwheel.com/grindingwheels_basics.htm#faq1
Seems brown is a general purpose grit, in my case a finer grain than the other side..... :coffee:

Hacksaw's, be they manual or mechanical always cut on the backstroke, there's no particular magic, the profile of the teeth will lift the blade up on the forward stroke.

Thanks....I will look into it.... :thumbup:
Been looking at that bushing I was going to fix on the mill. It turned out to be a loose locating pin and is all ok now. No need to machine anything..... :ddb:
It has a hydraulic lift pump, needs new seals mind but when don't they....!! I'll study that to see when it lifts..... :dremel:
