    super charger lobe design

    I dont know what tools do you dispose but it think because of the tight tolerances and design you it is difficult to machine then on conventional milling machiens; I think a CNC is required..... Are you going to machine then with some technique? Andrei

    X3 mill issues..

    Well infect today I did took some reading with the dti and I noticed that when the head is fully raised and push slightly the head from the front edge the dti gives a reading of 0.20mm more or less. I understand that by performing a force on the front most of the head, places a large moment on...

    X3 mill issues..

    Hi, I have recently bought the super X3 mill from axminister and overall I am very pleased with its performance. the only problem that I saw is that the coulum vibrates and "moves" especially in boring process. I also can confirm this because when I measure the holes they tend to be slightly...

    Lathe improvent

    No i dont want to upgrade for a cnc,,. that s what a also said, a stepper motor isnt the best solution. the main reason why i want to use a larger motor is to reduce the amount of load on the motor beacause sometimes it gets very hot. do you know from where i could find brush less motors with...

    Lathe improvent

    I was thinking to refit my lath with a more powerful motor... for example as the X3 mill has.. http://www.arceurotrade.co.uk/Catalogue/Stepper-Motors/Stepper-Motors. The X3 motor seems like these stepper motors but are these the right motors to choose from if not any ideas, connections etc. My...

    Lathe Drive

    I have a weiss lathe http://www.weiss.com.cn/products/wmp250v.php and when i set some heavy cut the v belt drive starts slipping and eventually the spindle will almost stop turning. I know that the belt is slipping because while cutting the rev counter reduces speed drastically and after...

    Sliding Van Blower

    Thanks for the info Kenny.. well then thats why they built the blower with two rotors even in model engine, to reduce more the pulsations. If each rotor has five or six blades and are set correctly, you will have ten or twelve pulsation each rev, which is a very good result in my opinion. I...

    Digital Read Out Problems

    When mounting the scales on the lathe always fix them upside down: the marked strip facing to the tray. This will avoid hot material chips from sticking into the scale strip, also when the chips are moved by the slider they wont damage the strip. That s what happened to me and some times the...

    Idea for 4 stroke rotary valve.

    how can you seal the ports to avoid leaks, say if you had to apply the design on a small v8 block ( a one piece block). Thanks Andrei
