That is a nice engine! I'm one of those lurking in the background enjoying buildingthreads on this forum. Thank you for sharing your great build with us.:D Morten

Today I managed to get my computer to control the vfd/motor. I got a bit woried when I took a look on the documentation for the usb-rs485 converter. It says that it doesn't suport windows8 and 10. I'm running mach3 on Windows 10. I thought I should give it a shot anyway. I conected the...

The box is actualy a circuit breaker box used in norwegian houses in the 60th and 70th. It was just something I had lying around.:)

Hello, I have just taken a look on your build tread and I must say i'm impressed of your build. Your build look much more tidy and nicer than mine :bow: I hope you don't mind I show you a picture of my electronics encosure here:hDe: Regards Morten

Yesterday a usb to rs485 converter appeared.It is cheep one from ebay, but I think it can be used just fine as a link between the computer and the vfd. As you now understand I have planed to control the motor from mach3. I have done a bit of investigation on internet, and found that Huanyang...

Thank you for being interested in my thread. The motor weights 13 kg (about 26 or so pounds I think) and have 1 hp / 0.75 kw. I have not used the mill that much after conversion, but I have made a wider motormount for it using 8mm endmill 1000 rpm 2mm deep of cut 1.08:1 ratio, feed 100...

It seems like I have solved the problem that I had with posting pictures. The reason for doing this 3phase conversion is that i'm tired of the stock motor and controller. My mill was on the second motor and it was about to "sing on it's last tune" and I didn't want to pay for an expensive motor...

Yesterday I tried to post a picture in a new thread, but I don't think I got it right. Therfore I will use this thread to try it out :)

I have done a 3Phase conversion on my G0704 type mill. I have also done a cnc conversion on this mill, but in this thread I will show the motor and belt drive conversion as I have not found many such conversions with 3phase motor and vfd. The plans for the belt drive are purchased from...

Take a look or ask the question on Cnczone.com. It is a lot of knowlegde on stuff like that There. I reasently hot help with setup on a chineese vfd.:D Regards Morten

Realy a Nice engine and great craftmanship:)

Hello Gus. My name is Morten and i'm from Norway. I just want to tell you that I enjoy your builds very much:D I'm impressed of what you can do on your small machines with a bit of clever thinking. Morten

Hi, my name is Morten and i'm from Norway. I have followed your 18 cyl. Build and now this one. I just want to say that I enjoy reading about your work very much. 17 years ago I visited Norwegian aviation museum in Bodø and they had a fullsize Merlin cutaway model. I was very impressed of that...

Hi all of you! I have just made one of mr Hall's grinding rests. Althought it needs a bit of shining, I'm posting a couple of pictures. Yesterday I used it to sharpen a couple of endmills and a slotdrill for the first time. After taken a test cut with them, I'm p pleased with the result.:D Kind...

20 years ago i learned machining in school and then didn't use it for more than 10 years. Then i wanted to get some machines and slowly begin remember old tricks. I have always been intereted in ic engines and have now begun building them. Last Winter I made a Boll aero 18. The engine doesent...
