Issue resolved:

I was using an old receptacle. One leg was measuring 125 V input, the other 46 V input. The VFD being sensitive was still producing 3 PH output but less than required. Updated...

The input to the VFD is 124V. Output varies between 90-112 V on each leg.

Thank you, I will check the legs and ground connection once more and report back.

I just uploaded the wiring diagram from the manual for reference. I am wondering if the VFD is fried but it is unlikely since there is no display on the speed indicator or the VFD.

First, I am not well versed in wiring.

I have the jet lathe 1642evs-2. I moved the lathe to a new place in the summer and wired the lathe in haste. It is a...

I recently acquired an old D4-24 Leigh jig which is in a very good shape. I have had the old version of the Porter Cable Omnijig-24 with fixed half blind and variable spaced through templates for...

Do you know the thread size/pitch on the handles?
Thanks,

I built a sawmill this past summer and tried it in the fall; it can slice veneer! It is based on Linn Lumber design. However by personality, I do not like to follow instructions and measurements....

I actually grow my own grain, harvest it by hand, made a threshing machine from leaf shredder and have a stone mill to mil the flour ;)

I use 50% diesel+50% bar chain oil mix. I crimped the end of the lube copper tube so it drips one drop every few seconds.

Very elegant...

Hi Harry,
if not too much trouble, can you share a picture please? Is the lathe in your avatar the lathe you are talking about?

Roger: Indeed a 2" block makes the swing 20" and that is the diameter of the plate I turned. I am going to say it is a hair or two above that so with a near perfect circle on the bandsaw, I managed...

I have increased the capacity of my Jet 1642EVS-2 using 2" riser blocks that I purchased here from a member. I then had to make a banjo using some rods and welding. That is called "mustard from mayo...

Indeed any no name brand saw is likely to be imprecise and hard to adjust just like my first bandsaw. When I upgraded to a 1950's Delta it was quite an improvement. Not to mention I sold the Delta at...

But it does not say, "do not let it get frozen", so I am contacting my lawyer for damages :)

I have an unheated workshop. Yesterday I noticed my glue was frozen in the bottles. I had one 16 oz and two 8 oz bottles. (Glad did not have the gallon size). Thought they could be used by warming...

I used contact cement on mine.

You guys are spoiled, all these entrees would have been a luxury to me! We were 8 kids and rarely we ate meat, or fish, perhaps 3-4 times a year, no kidding! Unless we went hunting that is... The...

Very nice and slick design.

After pondering the same question, I built a full size router table last year. It cost me less than $40 including the table top lift using readily available material in the workshop. All I purchased...

Very heart warming on a cold day... Fantastic story and fantastic results; my hats off to you Ken, and to Mrs. Fitzgerald!
Sal.

Now that is very nice; is it walnut and cherry? With your permission, I might copy the design...

No solicitation with a link is kosher... However, if I am offered some urgent next of kin inheritance, I always reply... If I have time, that is... I have so far solved most of the world's problems...

Sorry, I have "laminated" 2" thick countertops. My "corian" type countertops are between 1/2" to 1" thick. I have about 10 of them in various dimensions but all are suitable for router tables.
