Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

I ain't.....I also ain't moving it but one more time and that'll be on his trailer

 

Thanks! Unfortunately our big lathe is down, and all we have right now is the little Myford ML7; coolant in a spray bottle it is!

 

for you Shane!

 

Are they metal?




I installed my freshly acquired license plates

 

Remember this angle gauge I bought? 3rd time using it, it’s as handy as a pocket on underwear

 

Most of our signs are metal, there isn't many of them. Budweiser was supposed to be bringing some new ones but haven't.

 

When you get into woodworking to build that new case for the implements.. you'll use that a lot to square up blades etc.

 

I need to double check just what brand I have

It is the a rotary phase converter .

 

Finally done.

 

I can only say I wish many coworkers over the years did work like you.

 

That's some interesting work!

 

You know things are messy when I have to bring the laptop to the building to update the floorplan because the measurements aren't checking out.

 

Bwahaha!

That same one is on my truck gauges...or one similar.

 

You're gonna have to get a commuter car for that trip. That's a what, 46 mile drive one way? I used to do a 62 miles round trip drive and I racked up miles on the Tacoma very quickly.


EDIT: I'll also warn you VA taxes the crap out of you and the vehicle registration fees are astronomical. Also vehicle inspections are more strict.

 

Depends on the converter, most of them will take 220 single phase and by using magic and circuit boards will simulate the third phase. All I did with mine was plug it into a 220 receptacle and wire in the motor. The VFD even took care of the rotation correction.
@six5crèéd you do have to program certain things into it, but the instructions are easy to follow. Heck I did it they must be!

 

Truck looks good with a little snow on it!

 

How did you find them?

 

Slate, but from Walmart!
