I bought a Colchester chipmaster last year and I'm just getting around to mess with the coolant pump which is the original from 1958. There was suds residue in the lathe when I bought it so I think its working.
I could use a pond pump or buy a single phase pump however I would like to see if I can get this one working first, its built to fit the coolant reservoir etc.
Here's the label off the pump, the HP and amps are blank but I seem to remember reading it is 0.05HP - I could be wrong.
Using this very informative web site I have scaled down the capacitor sizes from the 1HP values he mentions as per the following diagram
Has anybody done this before, especialy with a small motor, and have any tips, capacitor values etc?
Cheers
Andy
