:update:
Well at long last I have managed to do a bit more on the lathe, I have just been distracted by one thing and another for weeks so not had time. I have moved the lamp along the back of the splash guard as if the lamp was in the best position every time I moved the chuck guard up it would hit the lamp arm or if the chuck guard was in the up position and I moved the lamp it would knock the chuck guard down. Set further along the splash guard and chuck guard should not effect each other.
I cut the old lamp bracket up so I had the mounting end and a few more bits of plate were cut up to make the mount, I will bolt it to the splash guard. This is the parts for the mounting bracket.
This is the bracket welded up and mounted should do the job :thumbup:
The next job is to make a mounting plate and brackets to house the inverter and a metal switch box that will have the switches for on / off , suds , lamp etc. While I was at a car boot sale today I spotted this panel, that must have been some sort of display I think. I asked the man how much he wanted for it and he said £2 ....... :bugeye:, so needless to say it came home with me :thumbup: :drool:.
This is the box with the stuff mounted as bought , the coloured indicators are ledtec 240v led indicators with coloured diffusers.
This is switches etc removed, in total , an isolator switch 20A, five coloured indicators, a key type switch with two keys, an emergency stop switch , a stop switch and a side to side two way switch, a couple need the contact blocks but you can get them separate.
So all in all a bargain and big help for working out my control panel.
Cheers Mick.

I had a chance to do a bit more today, I started to make the addition to the splash guard , there was a gap between what the chuck guard and the splash guard managed to stop spraying out the back, which resulted in a stripe of suds up the wall. I decided to make a wrap around addition behind the chuck to cover the gap. I removed the tube that covers the edge of the guard from the area and will replace this with new stuff once the part is welded in place.
The sheet is about 16 guage or 1.6mm thick so ok to weld but stiff to bend when you have no bending gear :scratch: after a bit of tapping around a tube it is looking more like what I am after, looks a bit too much like a lump of plate added on though, so a bend is needed :dremel:
Another bend and a bit sliced off and its taking shape
I mig welded inside and out and bashed it on the anvil while still hot to get it as nice a bend as I could, I will weld it to the existing guard then put the cover tubing around so it looks neat and matches the rest of the guard. It fits ok but I might trim the top off a bit yet as it is taller than needed really.
That was as far as I got today so watch this space :thumbup:
Cheers Mick.

M300 chuck guard.
Dont spoil it and paint it green.
When done yours you can do mine.
Like that box of switches.
Wanted a radiator but no wall room :thumbup:

Nowt wrong with Resida Green. When I fitted a large roller shutter door to my barn, which is my workshop, I asked the wife what colour she wanted. She pointed at the barn outlook of our fields and hedges and she said 'that colour'. The chap fitting it got his colour chart out and Resida Green was the average of the green outlook. Since then I've painted all the exposed steel work to match with Resida Green tractor paint from an excellent seller on ebay.
