Hi Rob, Did you get it fixed up to your machine :D :D :D I'm glad I found the link in the end, because I'm no good at writing up stuff, I just don't seem able to explain it very well in text :bang: Cheers Rob :thumbup: |

Hi Rob, thanks for the early present, my old Logan needs one, and that looks much better than the motorcycle tach I was going to coble together with some sort of drive so the mechanical gauge would read something of value. I think I can use the teeth of my back gear and get an accurate readout. Top of the Morning to you :beer: mad jack |

Hello Rob It was last year I converted my Harrison L5a to a 3 phase controller, I find it an absolute boon, I am led to believe the head bearings are rated up to 3000rpm for short periods perfect for polishing, and now screw cutting up to a shoulder holds no fears with any speed from stop upwards.. I thank you for the tachometer idea and will be taking it up. Cheers Trev |

Hi Trevor, Yep its a useful bit of kit a phase inverter, I haven't had my Harrison L5 beyond 760rpm (its max speed), I know changing the inverter frequency a bit higher gives you more rpm, but I was worried it might damage the motor. Screw cutting is a breeze as you say :ddb:. Just like a DRO the tacho is a great visual aid to have on any lathe/mill or even a bandsaw in my case :dremel: Thanks again must go to Les who developed it, I just wish I had a contact email, so that I can thank him for posting it up on his website. Cheers Rob :thumbup: |
