i have had a look as is but nothing and tabs fold in as reverse does.yes lucky in the fact that forward and reverse looks identical for spotting differences
i meant as Pete has stated its got to come apart mate to get in there...just make sure you keep the clutch packs wet on the bench as i done something similar in past and the plates dried out and got ruinedi have had a look as is but nothing and tabs fold in as reverse does.
could be a bit of ****e in there.
ah well, this weekends job. few ciders n hand aswell i think will be called for
you may find them in the bottom of the gearbox! what lathe is it?
That is fantastic news. It also means your VFD is working as it should toowhoop whoop its sort of sorted
I left it soaking in oil today and just gave a few light taps with the rubber mallet. it moved bit by bit with a tapping and now as new I thunk it was the part that slides in next to the tabs where it was sticking/jamming, reckon as somebody said it was burred up or something. maybe the lever got knocked when being transported.
all good but for needing a bigger motor pulley. I had a rev monitor on it and the top speed is only 525rpm at the chuck and around 750rpm at the motor pulley. The pulley on is 100m so mite aswell get a 200mm one to get he full 1000rpm at the chuck.That is fantastic news. It also means your VFD is working as it should too
Now you have a working lathe, you can turn your own pulleysall good but for needing a bigger motor pulley.

The 100mm pulley cost £7 the 200mm around £25, sods law and mite need bigger belts aswell now.
Oooo i love wasting money lol.
i would if steel wasnt so expensive now. i am after a round slab 145mm x 2mm for my flypress bed and that is £25 lol. And need a 3 bely pulley so around £50 for that size i betNow you have a working lathe, you can turn your own pulleys
well as it goes i cant get a 200mm 3 groove pulley with 1610 bush so a new pulley set altogether is needed.You don't want a steel pulley. More inertia requires more power to start and stop. A big pulley you make from ally.
What is your maximum frequency?
50hz
i am going to buy a new digital rev gauge, makes life easier. dropped my last one last night and bust it.
thought that would knacker the motor as its a 50hz. ill go try now and see what the VFD will go uptoYou don't need a pulley just run it up to 120hz
