No guarantees but you could try a couple of wi-fi antennae (classical scholar, me!), connect them with a suitable length of coax and fit one inside the enclosure and the other outside, sort of a deliberate RF leak. |

I'm tempted to get a wifi back for it, but I suspect that would compromise the watertightness, and I'm not convinced that the signal will penetrate the few non metallic openings in the machine enclosure. --- End quote --- Woo! They seem to be really good, those GoPros, I never quite got around to buying one myself (none of my machines are encolosed, so the cheapo Kodak thing I bought suffices for now), but I would like to. Where, approximately, are you in the country? Might have to swing by one of these days.... Also - for lube, don't forget you can get a discount from Lube Tech Shop (see the "Vendor specials" board) IIRC it's 10%, I bought a 25ltr drum of "Excelfluid Ultra EPDX Soluble Cutting oil 25 litre" - not cheap, but the first batch I made up about 9 months ago, is still in the sump of the Bridgeport now, & still neither stinks nor has it gone lumpy, so I'm assuming the bugs don't like it. Dilute 10% and 1 drum will fill your lathe... with a few litres spare for spillage! |
