Today I acquired...........

[Wedg1e]

For the first one it wasn't a microswitch but it was nearly a cable. A wire in the stator has broken, possible because of a manufacturing fault. Anyone know a good place to buy spares for Scheppach machines, internet searches just throw whole machines for sale.

Bosch motors used to - perhaps still do - have a habit of breaking the stator windings. What I found was that the ends of the stator winding had been pulled taut to the anchor posts where they were crimped to the leadout wires. Then heat, or perhaps impact (caused, I suspected, by people slapping the pad on a hand sander, or putting a multitool down hard) would then snap the winding.
Usually the break could be seen, so if you passed the broken end back around the winding you could free up enough spare to strip and reterminate it, one lost winding turn making no perceptible difference to the operation of it.

While typing, I wonder if the wasted spark of on most of them would cause some interesting issues anyway?

Nah, wasted spark doesn't cause any issues with a timing gun, you're only interested in cyl 1 but you get a spark at 1 and 4 at same time
I only used timing guns for setting up standalone ecus.

 

[Pete.]

Wasted spark on a typical inline 4cyl you should not be able to notice because 1 and 4 use the exact same timing mark.

It's a bit better than my old timing light,@Olderisbetter's timing light switches between 2/4cycle so at least the rpm function will read correctly on wasted spark.

Let me have a look here - what's the exact model-name, -number?

Thank you. It's a Scheppach PL55. I've taken the stator out and it's missing one of the plastic shields that stop the rotor touching the stator windings. It looks like this:

I've found one supplier, Probois Machinoutils, but they didn't like the postcode I put in. It might be something simple as not putting the space between the triplets. That's a job for later.

A 24/230, 300W inverter, could be good, could be duff:

A whole bunch of brand new, 230 to 11.4V, 300VA lighting trannies. They're are lumps!

Assorted microwave bits inc the big trannie:

A laminator, motor is duff:

Hmmm, the pikey gene is strong in this one!

I've found (between dozens of PL55):

"PL55 1.20kW 230V/50Hz - scheppach special-UK Artikel-Nr. 5901802905"​

The Label should look something like this

For the spare parts list the differentiate between SN: 0132-xxxxx and SN: 0278-xxxxx

- in which bracket is yours?

EDIT:

Do you find your missing part here?

£5 - Would have been rude not to

 

[roblane65]

Well earlier in the week

couple of faky M12 batteries and some gearwrench ratchets is was cheaper to buy the set than the two I wanted
the 1/4 Dr will be going in the for sale as I've already got the 90T version .

The article number is 5901802915 and 0159 40124 It's item 12 on the parts diagram I need.

And thanks for doing this.

You're very welcome.

I can't get your numbers together, which could be because I'm on the German site of Scheppach ...

However, it seems that all PL55's - at least all the ones I have randomly checked - have the same stator (the position 12 you identified):
In all cases I compared, it has the spare part number 3901802022 and in all cases - now please be very brave - the price of € 90.05 on the official Scheppach spare parts page.

I found the part number on www.stokker.com for half that but don't know if that's real.

Please ask me if you think I have a chance to help you, otherwise good luck.

Thanks. I'd like to repair as it might be useful, but I'm not sure it's £90 of useful, especially as I'm tending towards Makita's 18V cordless tools.

I'll ponder on it.

 

[sako243]

A few days ago but should be finished tomorrow

Near on a 6m run with all the timber being Douglas Fir cut from the local wood yard in the village and all built, planed etc., by my neighbour. He's a damn handy neighbour to have is all I can say.

 

[Olderisbetter]

A big ball joint splitter for the VW LT35 came with the bolt missing but i found one in my random bolt box, its a bit short but at.least i have a thread match now

You're going to need a longer bolt...

Anyway, came today:-

1939 book, good pics, black and white, easy to read and understand.

Really nice book to have!

Question: HERE I found the 1919 edition of that book and although some rules haven't changed, a lot of the machines are quite different to later -
do possible updates in your edition justify a purchase?

Thank you

I would say not, unless you like books over electronic media. Maybe a later version would be more suitable.

Thank you very much, @minimutly, that seems like good advice.

Question for all:

I'm looking at a small machine that has this motor on it, obviously a British one.

Since all the British machines I've seen that came here had the motors swapped out for German models,
I don't know: top or turd?


Thanks all,


Carsten

[roblane65]

today I acquired at least 5kg of sif bronze

a Sykes picavant thread restorer and a few hacksaw blades, the rods are 2.5-3 mil ish and quite tarnished but clean up ok I presume it's silicone bronze .They were cleaning out the old sheds at shooting ground where I've been grafting and I wasn't going to say no , missed out on a few other bits as they were like hawks as it was coming out

I've a Snap On or Facom thread restorer, useful bits of kit.
