    Thank you Dale! I am glad your Clausing Mill is up and running! "There will be no voltage drop!" My brothers and I learned electrical from our dad, he was a firm believer in one size larger than what is required. We never used smaller than #12 wire for anything in the house, and never had a problem, either. Your videos seem to go buy so fast! I feel sure we will see some very interesting videos centered around this mill. 'Til next time.

      Things in the consumer world of electricity are changing too,. I've adapted LED lighting in my home, I'm never going back to incandescent or even CFL. It wouldn't surprise me that some day not too far away 16 gauge wiring for lighting circuits will meet code instead of 14 gauge around here. Fractional current draw, negligible heat generation, shock resistance (impact), and lamp longevity are big features of the technology. I can remember when base socket splitters were porcelain to deal with the heat generated by incandescent lamps, now they are simple Flame retardant PC, thanks to LED's:

      Sounds like my old journeyman. And we always put in a full size ground wire. No 12-2 with 14 ground. Every circuit was 12. Never had any issues. I rewired my house just like your dad would have wanted.
      Jim, wherever you are, you really taught me a lot. Thank you.

    Mr Pete, I am glad to see you got it running. I am an industrial electrician and I have several machine shop clients. I have spent many an hour standing on my head trying to determine the voltage a used machine is wired for. When I watched your temporary video, I was surprised that they actually brought the motor leads to a junction box for convenience. Most do not! I have one customer who had a machinist that thought he was an electrician. He would run down to the supply house and grab whatever plug they had on the shelf. They blew up several machines because the plugs were mismatched for the voltage. It took me years to clean up that shop after he left. Never trust the plug! Looking forward to seeing some machine with the new Clausing!

    Love this mill , Lyle your so blessed , watching your videos is a great pleasure . Takes me back to 1970 my. First year in vocational school , my state has just about shut down all the shops . Building trades , plumbing , electricians , are left weldings being fazed out too. NJ YUPP garbage state. But I was an apprenticeship machinist and made a formanship job before being paralyzed by a butcher . So I live vicariously some of the time. I've never stopped machining till now being bed bound sucks . But pain has put me here. God bless you my friend.

    Going to need to grease that variable speed shaft, they tend to run dry and wear out the splines in the sheaves, and then break the return springs as they start to chatter. Should be a grease nipple on the shaft end to pump grease down to the working area of the splines in the shaft, or if not there is a bolt there replacing one.

    Try to check if the motor has a nameplate. That usually will have the information to convert 440 to 220. In my experience 440 means the windings are connected in the wye configuration and 220 in delta. Usually there are 12 wires coming out of the motor. Hope this helps along with info from the others.

    Reminds me of when my cousin called me to check out a table saw he bought at a house auction. It kept tripping the breaker whenever he would turn it on. He thought the motor or the capacitor on it was bad. I had brought an assortment of capacitors along so I swapped it out. Still no go. I opened the terminal box on the motor to ohm out the motor and found a surprise. It had a regular 110 plug on it, but it was a dual voltage motor and was wired for 220 volts! I guess the original owner just wired a 110 receptacle for 220. Swapped the wires around and it ran fine.

    For those of us with fading vision, I have seen a video of magnifying attachments for cameras (or whatever) that plug into the USB port. As I remember the picture was quite good.
    If you get a motor with questionable wiring, I think you can check the windings with an ohm meter and the resistance will vary inversely with the voltage set up. Please check for a more informed opinion than mine before making any changes. Your electrician friend probably knows the answer off the top of his head. I seem to recall the voltage change is made by wiring the field coils in series or parallel for each phase of the motor, with somewhat similar changes for a two- speed motor. Many old Colchester lathes have two-speed motors.

    On the variable speed handle, it says " turn only with motor running", listen to that warning. If you turn the variable speed control without the motor running and let go of the handle it will knock the anchor tab off the main spring. Don't ask me how I know.

      There is a big flat coil spring behind the handle, it assists with the operation of the vari speed while the motor is running. But if you crank the handle when the motor is not running all it does is load up the spring, and if you let it go it snaps back with much force and will snap off a part of the spring, usually the bent tab of the spring that is anchored into the machine frame.

    Something that you might want to look into is a VFD. I know you have had mixed results with them before, but you can get a high end used Allen Bradley VFD off of ebay for about $100. A 22A-Bxxxxx VFD says it wants 3-phase, but I run mine off single phase with no problems. I also have a braking resistor on it so my motor stops pretty quickly. I can use it for variable speed, but I have never had any reason to take it off of 60Hz except for when I am doing testing.
    I use AB VFDs all the time for work, so if anybody has any questions feel free to ask.

    Look in your twist lock stash and match ups set of 4 wire 240 or 480 plugs and receptacle s and you can move to diff machines.

    You will not be sorry going with the rotary converter i love mine and I can run several pieces of machinery at one time with it.

    a 9 lead motor is just a standard dual-voltage motor. should be lots of diagrams in books to show how to change it over.

    im not sure if it is a states thing but it seems that many of the machines, lathes, mills, etc there is all 3 phase. In canada, for example, many of the machines are NOT 3 phase but single either 110 or 220 volt machines unless you go over 5 hp (3 for 110) then it goes to three phase...
    Thing is most of the lathes and mills run 1.5 hp... Makes me wonder is all.
    Unless you go to the purely shop machines that take up huge floor space i just dont see the point of three phase.

      3 phase has higher starting torque, much better speed control and also is a heck of a lot more efficient over single phase. Same power 3 phase motor typically is a frame size smaller, has better than 90% efficiency over the single phase 80% efficiency and typically double the starting torque, but even though you need 4 wires in the cable it still works out cheaper copper wise as the current is lower.
      Biggest single phase motor however is 22kW, meant to run on 230VAC and drawing 63A, used a lot by farmers to drive water pumps at the end of long overhead low voltage lines with a transformer and single wire earth return. ABB sells a lot of those beasts, often as a combo set.

      Three phase motors are simple and cheap and last forever

      simple...maybe...cheap nope single phase are cheap. last forever....ehhhhh

    As others have said, this is one place where you need to bite the bullet and get a qualifed electriction. If the wiring is not labeled exactly as shown on motor or other cover plates... the chances are pretty good that someone has cobbled the wiring in the past. The motor could very well be incorrectly wired and have been running that way for years. At best the motor could be running poorly or running hot, at worst there could be a serious safety issue that is just waiting to kill you under the right circumstances.

      Yes, I have one. You will see it soon in another video. I am working towards that end
