Hey Grant, any new updates?

My 10ee's MG is up and running on single phase: seems to work good!

Thanks. I really wasnt sure how much i needed. Didn't wanna run short, or buy a quart just be sure.

Could you tell me how much of the red varnish you used on the AC motor? I plan to do the steelman method to convert my 10ee to single phase. Thanks

Scored a very nice Emco V13 a while back: Added a Teco L510 VFD, with factory brake motor. Took a bit of tuning to make the brake work nice with the braking of the vfd, but the results were worth it: Built a rack for my quick change tooling: It is a nice compliment to my Standard Modern 1660:

Awesome. A 76 mini was the first car i owned, when i was 12, and in the end i have owned close to 100 of them, mostly derelicts, but a few nice ones as well.

This is the 25hp Baldor H2 drive powering my 10hp standard Modern 1660 lathe, fed by single phase. I'm feeding the VFD with #6 wire, through a contactor, motor protection switch/breaker, EMI filter, then to the VFD. Oddly enough, when I hooked it up to test it, I only had a 40 amp double pole...

Very nice! love the upstairs. I'm hoping mine looks similar one day. It'll just be the boys room though

Looks great! Any more updates?

I preprimed the sheets, including the edges, now i'm filling the seams with drywall mud to soften the edges: Did some mechanical work for a heating company, so they hooked me up with a furnace, but I had to install it: Getting my 8' LED's up. There will be 16 of these: Some were...
