Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Getting closer Jim.

Looks like you need a few bolts in you exhaust manifold.

Take Care.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

thanks Doug, labor of luv,ahhh another lol

whatcha bin up two?
I think all the bolts are in, just need to torque
unless you mean t he cast in boss
and then their was two.....just new air temp. sensor, o2 weld to downpipe

we need another what's in the safe thread

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

tired of trying to line up bolt and shield at the same time. used a 1" hex drive ss stud with aflange serrated nut

tomorrow it rolls out of the work shop, to put the bridge port in

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

I'm jealous........

Be sure and use some copper anti seize compound on that SS hardware.

it fits cap'n, I guess she stays

tom, thanks for the reminder, how about nickel, instead of copper. I think it has higher temps.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Yep, it looks like she fits.........just don't get too engrossed in machining something and forget about that step over to the right :)

Copper is the high heat stuff.
PS... I want a mill like that. So useful.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Thanks Tom for setting me straight. Machinery is pretty cheap around here, I only paid 400 for this one, even came with a electric cross feed and vice.It's 3 phase, so I have to change the motor. there is a bearing company that wants me to key shafts for them, so I will have work this winter

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

You are kidding me! Around here a Bridgeport like that would go for about 10X that. A wore out Bridgeport would still be $2K+.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

well, we lost a lot of manufacturing in this area, auctions for this stuff is all over the place. MAYBE I should buy it up and deliver out there

new interior light for working on computers and wiring 110 V

Phase convertor mounted, now 220V to power it up

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

That's a nice light, but it may obstruct your view slightly driving down the road? :lol: :lol:

What voltage is your motor? If it's 208, keep the 3 phase and use a variable frequency drive(VFD). I run a few of my machines this way and now prefer small 3 phase motors over single phase because I can make them variable speed. Best part is that a VFD is relatively cheap to buy.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Got tired of tripping over my drop light

[quote=hemi43;7738365]Started to go down that road, I agree a better way, but 220V and 2 phase, might try looking a little more, but 2 phase VFD are hard to find or even available. Then I started to think about buying a 3 phase motor and a VFD, the motor plate is smashed and hard to tell what number the frame is

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

just came to me who was posting up, talk about a blast from the past, how's the boys? What have you been up to....

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Dan, spent a little more time searching, and came up with a VFD for the Bridgeport, much better than the noisy rotary drive. Thanks for getting me back on track

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Glad to hear !! Awesome that you have a 220V motor. You won't regret the VFD. I built a CNC mill a few years ago and used a Hitachi VFD with 100% satisfaction.
All you need now is some ball screws and a computer !! :lol::lol::lol:

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Don't know if I'll ever get into CNC, I'm more of a manual kind of guy, been there my whole life....

Weird, to run into 2 phase, but its a philly and Rochester thing, from way back in the day. found out about it on practical machinist
