Hi All, This is the first time that I have been using my lathe on a phase converter. (Rotary 3HP). I am machining a back plate for a 6" chuck and my thermal is...
Hi Gerry. Don't know much about converters, but I owned a static one for a brief period and the salesman warned me I'd need a 5hp converter to drive a 3hp...
Gary, I dont have any details on the thermal cutout but measure the voltages in all of the 3 phase legs and make sure they are balanced pretty well when the ...
Hi All, Thanks for the comments. I decided to take out the thermal contacter. Guess what it had some electrical tape aroound it from a previous proble. Have...
Hello, I have a L6 MKIII 12" swing, I would like to know the correct procedure for preloading the headstock bearings, the manual that I have does not include...

Hi All, Thanks again for the moral support. I spent some time perusing the wiring diagram. It states that for 220 volts, the thermal relay has a range of 4 to...
Den: Thank you for your response, to date it has been the only info I have been able to obtain. If I was to use the temperature method, what would you think...
Brad, One 11" Rockwell manual (US Army) says that if the temp rises to 145F, back the preload off. That's a bit high for me and I'd use something closer to...

Bill, On several other lathes, including the Harrison M300, oil is pumped in via the nipples (and the one shot system). The gun is a hand held cylinder about...

DP stands for diametrical pitch. You can use the formula on this link to calculate it for your L5A: http://www.boilerinvasion.org/files/kip/gears101.html ...

Hi. I have an L5A and had the same experience when I bought a MT5 center. It appeared to be the right taper but the dimensions were too big and it protruded....
Anyone have a taper attachment for their M300. I expect one could look for years and never find one of these used. If possible I would love to see some...
