As I recall, you mentioned that the airflow was inbound at the pulley end, and from the belt shot above, it made me wonder if one of the suction slots might be exposed.... Dave M --- End quote --- Hi Dave! Do you mean, to stop swarf entering here? I reckon I could hang something from the two motor height screws, which would cover both areas. :) Thank you, for the nudge....... :beer: David D |

I've had enough of those moments, to last me for the rest of my swarf making life. :palm: I'm on it! :thumbup: David D |

The lathe's had it's first proper work out today. My standard batch, of 1 doz tokens. Plus one special. :) Orrible, extruded aluminium, from a piece of office equipment. :( (Apart from the special one on the r/h end)....... Parting off this ally, is really taxing. Needing low revs, and plenty of lube. The motor handled it all beautifully. Clearing out the swarf tray, some minutes afterwards, it was a strange sensation, feeling the warm (aired) air, blowing from the duct...... Jobs a good un! Thanks for all your help, and interest Lads....... :beer: David D |
