I have 10 or 12 Automation Direct VFD. All are GS2 series. They do not make any noise that I can hear except the fan when the machine is actually running and that is not that loud. All have remote...

Check out this article I wrote.

I have a Delta Rockwell similar to the one above but later. It is equipped with a three phase motor and VFD for speed...
The hole is for the spindle lock and does not go through. The shaft is hollow and I use a vacuum chuck system on it.

I have a Wadkin RS6 that I may need to remove the spindle on and have no idea on how to remove the spindle pulley. The only think I can see on the pulley is an unthreaded hole. There is also a hole...
As others have said, an easy fix. If you were closer, I would do it for you for the fun of fixing it.

+2 on Ridge Carbide. Forrest has a bigger advertising budget, but Ridge has better blades. I have then on my PM72 and my 12" slider and had them on my PM66 that I sold. Always send them back to Ridge...
This is the last one I sold. A Delta 17" with production table 3/4hp 3 phase motor, slo-speed pulley set and Automation Direct VFD. I have restored many of these and they are my favorite. I sold...

Are you running it on 120V or 240V?
Peter
I found it on Doc Green's web site. It is 5k ohm just as the Automation Direct units that I use. We are going to build a remote control pad with both a big red kill button, and the remote speed...
Does anyone know the value of the potentiometer used on the Powermatic 3520 and 3520B lathes? I have to replace one and can't find the value of it anywhere.
Thank you
Peter
Those are Morse taper shank drill bits. Usually used in lathes and milling machines.

Probably mine on OWWM.

People either love or hate a Delta Unifence. It has many features that no other fence has and can be set up for many different cutting options. I like the ability to slide the fence back off the...
The owner of the lathe removed the wires. They were connected, but to what I am not sure. The lathe is 40 miles away from my shop. We were working over the phone trying to determine how the...
Many of those had the motor mount frame in backwards. The pulley should be up tight to the motor and the hub on the outside. The opening in the base housing is too small to use a link belt and it...
We are trying to install a remote control switch on a PM3520B. Our switch set up does not look like the wiring diagram. The wires are not the same color and the switch is different.
Anyone run...
I am trying to buy a small table saw for my niece. All the saws on CL are missing the guards and the owners do not have them. There must by a large cache of them someplace! This applies to old and...
I have old Starrett that look better than that! For a premium price, I want premium tools!

They aren't cheap, but they do an excellent job- Ridge Carbide in NJ. Also, their blades are really great, better than some of the more highly advertised brands, one of which is also in NJ. I send a...
I don't think that running two motors off one VFD at the same time will work. Also, one rule that MUST be followed is NO switching beyond the VFD. The VFD controls starting and stopping. No other...
That machine is prior to 1947 when Kerney & Trecker bought W/T. Probably close to the 1947 year. On the table raising gearbox, I just replaced the worm gear in mine and if yo need one, it is a 1220...
An interesting thought to add to this thread is that here in New Hampshire, the power company tariffs (rules) on file with the Utilities Commission actually limit the size of electric motors in...
That vibration is cause by the start circuit contacts engaging and the stored amperage in the starting capacitor kicking in. A very common issue and can be corrected by putting a bleeder resistor...
Too bad!I'll have to think on that one.
