Rotary phase converters are actually fairly simple to make from what I've seen! They use a larger 3 phase motor that you Jumpstart with a smaller motor on single phase once the 3 phase motor spins up it generates the missing phases
You should support and center the open end of that pipe, or a cutter will jamb on it and go flying... never hold a piece with the jaws alone that sticks out more than 2 inches.
Everytime I see them do something with a lathe, I cringe a little. I wish one of them would spend a day with an old timer machinist and just learn as much as they can. I'd hate to see someone get injured on that thing. A lathe is one of the most dangerous tools you can own, and none of them seem to be thoroughly trained on how to operate one. -machinist of 10 years
I wish I lived closer I would make all their precision parts plus teach them how. But alas, it can't be. Automotive machinist, heavy equipment machinist, foreign car shop machinist, aircraft machinist/welder and carpet mill machinery designer, fabricator, mechanic, welder and machinist. Old as dirt, cranky ex-military type that loves to teach what he knows. Been watching stuff spin in chucks since I was seven. Decided to retire and do the same damned thing at home. LOL! Maybe some day guys! Cheers from South Carolina! Terry
[ Certificating Electrician ] If it seems like the same problem wirg different equipment it will be down to your method [ heavy cuts at diameter cost you heavy Amps ] If you can't get a 3 phase shop supply, get the lathe converted to a single phase motor, that would remove the 'hobby' digital converter from the equation. [ I recommend 240v ]
I am an electrician, those converters are about 60% what they say output current is rated for. Definitely need to build one with an old motor rotary style.
Also an electrician and completely agree, or really for as light duty as that lathe is going to be used for they could probably find a 220 single-phase motor that would be fine in place of the 3-phase it's got in it.
They should just get a VFD, they're not that expensive, and you can program current limits so it won't burn out the drive. Single to 3 phase VFD's are a little harder to find, but they're definitely out there. Pretty sure you can get them at Grainger.
@@andrewt9204 they don't need variable speed though, that lathe is setup for the motor to run constant speed since it runs through a gearbox, they do them like that so you can get exact repeatable rpm's for thread cutting and tool feeding, you would lose a lot of the usefulness of owning a lathe that way
@@Greg1096I was gonna say, im not an electrician yet (in school to be one) and Im a bit unsure of why theyd use a 3 phase lathe in a shop like they have. The one my buddy has in his shop is a single phase and it does everything we need just fine
I enjoy your channel, Don't you guys know a electrician ? Find and old style Non Digital Phase converter to run the lathe from residential 220v service , or install a 220v single phase motor on the lathe like a residential water pump motor, A 3 phase motor will stay running with only 2 hot legs of normal 220, it's that it won't start turning unless it has the phase dufference of that third leg , the old style converter uses an LC circuit to momentarily provide this third leg to start the motor, the trade off is reduced maximum work load , a 3hp motor becomes a 2hp motor, This phase shift motor adapter, has less burn out failure problems , and functions more like the "start capacitor" in your air conditioner
I was constantly checking to see if the post had come up last night. Worth the wait with another awesome episode of 'the mower'. Love reading comments. Please organize a few more race days on your backyard tracks with the Lads, as they're the vids I always go back to.
That was brilliant of TH-cam to go to an ad. right when you guys went to test the lathe. I think it would be you're best bet to be in the market for a 240 volt motor? that will fit on that lathe and that would be problem solved. you would just have get the right size pulley so the lathe will run at the proper speed? and you shouldn't have anymore issues in the future. that mower is still one of the best projects that you have built. however I'm still waiting for you to revisit the Honduki? project I still think that it has massive potential?
Gentlemen. Electric motors are typically sized by a "frame", or chassis of the motor. If you can't get multi-phase power in the shop, just get a motor of the same frame as your current one that is single-phase and install it. You can probably find a used on online, or at your local motor repair shop.
ive never been able to get the hang of parting stuff off on a lathe, mine is no where near as big as what u guys have an id love to have that machine but parting is one thing ive tried about every type of parting blades an still have the same issue with all of them, get about half way through an it stops cutting an if u keep pushing it just burns the tip up or breaks the carbide inserts so now i start the parting an get it as far as i can an pull the hacksaw out.
I see Isaac and John were thinking just like I was a tillotson 212cc electrical start. A muffler for a 70 ft ventilated to the outside with an anti bird catch on it to keep birds from a nest and if you can get enough R. P. M. You can run it govered. That way you don't overload a ceriert at least that would be reliable in your venting all the and you have a low voltage high power output device. By the way this is my second time watching this video.. peace out to have an excellent 👍👍👍👍
This Old Man from Washington NC always looking forward to your Wednesday Video 👍. No disappointment in the quality and laughs 🤣. Charles great show at the airport. Really enjoyed meeting you and your Wife. Love you Guys 🛵🧔💝💝💝
This is just how my 1910 12’ Seneca falls lathe works. It had a big 220 motor originally but my dad put a 110 on it when we put it in the basement. Works awesome.
With the number of subscribers, views, and patreon members you guys have you can afford an appropriate 220v single phase motor for that lathe. I would have went that route before buying a phase converter in the first place.
Exactly what I was thinking, would take about 5 minutes with a grainger book to get exactly what they need, would be well worth the money to avoid the headache of messing with phase converters
And there is a perfect example of why lights and outlets are supposed to be wired on separate breakers, with 14-2 for 110v lights and 12-2 for 110v outlets. Time to run some different conduit and wire to the lights. Reminds me of old houses where the furnace or boiler is wired into the basement lights. So when the breaker is turned off to do the work, you've got to have good work lights, flashlights, and headlamps to get the job done.
If you put the steering bracket on the front back the way it was you could keep all of the drift angle by replacing the linkage rod from the steering wheel to the shaft with a chain and sprocket setup, that way by going from a small sprocket on the steering wheel to a larger one on the shaft you lower the gear ratio of the steering both giving you slower/easier steering but retaining all the movement of the link rods in the front
Hello, Your service is top notch, I always love it. Perfect balance between looks, performance and handling! , looks great. I'm also looking at your stuff, I'm building an electric car.
I'm not bugged they put a 120V motor on the lathe, it actually makes a lot of sense and should work just fine (please make a good mounting setup for the motor, add a tensioner pulley to the belt on their replacement motor, and add a switch). First things first if you do get a lightswitch, they work just fine for this sort of stuff. They're made to handle this sort of load and if you're worried about it then get a 20 amp switch just to be safe. Second things second, when you're cutting like you were, I suggest getting an acid brush and a small cup then brushing on a little bit of gear oil to add some lubrication when cutting or machining.
Just get stronger DFS or VariableFrequencyDrive with more "Amp" capacity. When you use lower RPM of motor it loads the driver more ... And it needs cooling !
Transfer punches would have been a good choice at 20:50 over the paint trick. A set is like 12 bucks at the hobo freight. Another option would be to turn points on 3 bolts, screw then in the hub then smack it to mark center of the holes on the drum
Those phase shifters like they are using even when sized I per the rated amps still tend to shit the bed pretty regularly in my experience, been doing industrial electric for longer than I would care to admit and every time one of the factories I service tries to cheap out with one of these I've never seen it be reliable, IMO rotary phase converter is the only way to go unless you want to have 3-phase service installed
Love it! That "lawn mower" was just one of the most insane builds you guys have ever done, just off the chain, really. An engineering marvel in it's own right. And, yeah, so this is the part where you hear from the machinist in the audience lol! Please be careful with the lathe, you can get hurt so quickly, and fingers and eyes don't grow back.
I have used a hard skateboard wheel on a pivot arm with a good stiff spring works great as a chain tensioner. Love this channel, only difference in men n boys is the price of our toys!!😊
my favorite part is how certain Issac was that the lathe would work then cut to him being amazed that it did.
my favorite part is how many times we get taught how to install a sprocket correctly.

The jankyness and redneckery of the lathe is brilliant
Brilliantly dangerous....spend a couple shekels and get the correct motor and ditch the phase converter.
Yee Yee!! 😂😂

ROCK ON MY MAN!
On your phase converter, always get one that is double what the machine’s amp rating is. It’ll keep you from burning them up.

Turn your brake drum pipe around in the lathe so you are parting off next to the lathe chuck. No vibration or chatter that way.
