Turned the first pieces tonight. Still need to hook up the gearbox and leadscrew for powerfeeds, but I need to turn some parts for the gearbox so manual feed it was! They sure don't make em like this anymore.

Yeah, they make them better. lol j/k

Is that a variable electronic speed controller I see on the bench?

[tinkwithanr]

Basically, it's a VFD (variable frequency drive) to control the 3-Phase motor. That along with the tachometer I haven't hook up yet will let me turn at the exact rpm/sfpm needed for any job.

Built a constant current dummy load for testing some power supplies for some upcoming new stuff.

Need to build a little case for it out of some pine.

VIM tools? Made where? if you know. Want to get some of e-torx box wrenches and rather not buy Gear-Wrench's because they tend to be bulkier.

That Husky box was a good buy. I almost bought one, and I have two boxes already. Huff bought one and it's pretty nice for the price. The locks are MEH, but they are universal, so you could upgrade if you're worried.

Just got one of these to replace the one I fucked up welding with. This one's got a cool light on it too.

[idanity]
