15 HP RPC Build

I believe Doozer is right. In my independent thinking before he joined the thread, I had come to the same solution.

There are two things...

[The Metal Butcher]

Hmm....

In TTT's Stone Hammer Simple RPC thread, he talks about a centrifugal clutch. I found one that would probably work. It's well more...

[The Metal Butcher]

Well at any rate, don't worry about it too much fellas. I won't be doing much on it til I graduate. It will be a slow processes, probably will be finished...

[The Metal Butcher]

No worries Paul, it happens. I tried to flag it too but couldn't. I think it is something to do with quotes, when it loads up they are pretty strange......

[The Metal Butcher]

Yes. I got it to load for me once and I made a reply. Now it is broken. Until Paul's post is edited or deleted, I doubt anyone can post. I doubt Paul...

[The Metal Butcher]

I know, I didn't mention it as rectifiers are like $5 on ebay.



Disagree. I need to know this stuff. The Daewoo lathe I have...

[The Metal Butcher]

Yeah that'll do it. You are probably doing a lot more machining per day than the rest of us a home. I try not to use coolant much on the manual machines...

[The Metal Butcher]

Well, I was going to reply to everyone, but Paul's reply has hilariously broken the thread for me. I can't see any other posts or the previous page. Paul...

[The Metal Butcher]

Must be a lot bigger "small" shop than our small shop. I go through about 10 gallons of coolant a year not daily lol. Must get steamy in th...

[The Metal Butcher]

The worlds most annoying micrometer.

[The Metal Butcher]

I was hoping you'd reply, I appreciate your input on electrical matters.

I honestly think the transformer will work fine for the few seconds...

[The Metal Butcher]

I don't think the smaller motor could spin the big one up speed without being at speed by itself....

[The Metal Butcher]

I'm starting a shop in the house I live in, moving away from dad's shop slowly. So I need three phase. And since I don't believe in anything small, my...

[The Metal Butcher]

One of my first lathe projects was a mower spindle to replace the one on a Yazoo mower. Dad had already had a friend make one, but he did a poor job....

[The Metal Butcher]

Butter soft.

[The Metal Butcher]

Nothing new or special, but following Doc's initiative, I am posting here vs some continuation thread.

So anyway, I was wanting to use the...

[The Metal Butcher]

Ok I'm damn impressed. I came here expecting a ball turner, not a fabulous radius tool. Well done!

I use the same lathe at work, yours must...

[The Metal Butcher]

I was being somewhat facetious. I'm sure it crossed your mind, getting a lot more of them than I do. 3.0 is about as big as they get here. *Knock on ...

[The Metal Butcher]

Looks nice Doc.

I hope you don't have any earthquakes in your area. 😬

Then again you may have bigger issues than 100 milling...

[The Metal Butcher]

That's you though. Unless your memory is impeccable, or there is some database I don't know about, they are even harder to search than the big threads....
