Members sainte Posted July 3, 2020 Author Members Report Posted July 3, 2020 Thinking about the position of the elements under the table: I also received the table as a gift along with the machine, but with a single motor. I was calculating that the blade will have approximately a fixed speed of 1100 rpm. While the speed of the feeding will be from 0 to 950 rpm approximately. Brds Quote
Members sainte Posted July 6, 2020 Author Members Report Posted July 6, 2020 Some progress: There is little space under the table or the motors are very large! Because there is little space under the table, and before making an iron frame to support both motors in the most suitable position, I am drawing in CAD. While I have finished painting all the parts. This time there are no photos! Brds Quote
RockyAussie Posted July 6, 2020 Report Posted July 6, 2020 Those motors do look to be very large to me. Is this because you had them already? You are planning on using a foot control for the feed speed I hope. On my Fortuna it has a fairly heavy foot pedal with a solid shaft to the clutch lever and this allows me to just kick the pedal in a bit if I want to have the speed running continuously. That is fairly rare but does help on repetitive jobs sometimes. This picture shows the foot pedal and shaft. Quote Wild Harry - Australian made leather goodsYouTube Channel Instagram
Members sainte Posted July 6, 2020 Author Members Report Posted July 6, 2020 RockyAussie: Yes I already had those engines. I also had the frequency inverter to control the feeding speed. I am going to use a load cell with a pedal. Thank you for your help!. Brds Quote
Members sainte Posted July 9, 2020 Author Members Report Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) Before going further with some details I want to say that the objective I have is to achieve a restoration close to originality. For this reason the pieces were tried to preserve until they had no chance of having to manufacture them again, as was the case of a piece of the external feeding mechanism (I attach images). The choice of the original black color responds to what was outlined in the restoration objective. As a third goal is to make it work! Brds Edited July 9, 2020 by sainte Quote
RockyAussie Posted July 9, 2020 Report Posted July 9, 2020 Is the piece in the top picture the same piece as the pieces in the pictures below it? If so that is good looking work. Quote Wild Harry - Australian made leather goodsYouTube Channel Instagram
Members sainte Posted July 10, 2020 Author Members Report Posted July 10, 2020 RockyAussie: If it was first drawn in CAD, with the template I cut a piece of cast iron, and it was welded to the part of the piece that was in good condition. Thank you Brds Quote
