Hardinge lathe rebuild, part 1
🕑 Added 2021-06-06 21:58:20 +0000 UTCOne of the great many things that has been occupying my time lately. Finally had a chance last night to edit some of the clips I've shot of the project, into the start of a proper rebuild video series.
Don't laugh too hard. :D
I'd forgotten to turn the cameras external mic on more than a few times. and so had no sound whatsoever for much of this video. That forced me to try and add some music- the editing software came with quite a bit of royalty-free stuff, but I also didn't have several hours to root through it all to find anything better.
Let me know what you think. Constructive criticism always welcome. :)
Doc.

Holy shit. That's cool!

It's a 220V 3-phase motor, run on a KB "hybrid" VFD, or variable frequency drive. It not only converts single-phase wall power over to 3-phase, but also boosts 110V to 220V, so I can plug it into any standard outlet.

Okay, I laughed a bit at the 2:43 mark...

So, what's the power requirements for this piece of machinery? 200 volt range?

Any place there's a crack will suck in shavings. I rebuilt my dad's old table saw, it's amazing how much sawdust will accumulate in what would appear to be "dust-proof" enclosures.
This my "go to" for dealing with "less than cooperative" threaded items. https://www.kroil.com/

I'd say the music fit quite well while not being the focus. And how on earth did all those shavings get inside/under the thing?
