Jet10X24 is it worth it.

[Bamban]

I am interested in this, the 10x24 I got prior had a VFD setup on it but did not have the TAC or prox setup etc. Just gave me forward and reverse with variable speed and E stop.
I only have 110 in the garage, but would like to get your info or whatever is needed to build. may take me a while and I am not one that does much in electronics.

George, I will Take a look at the shafts, This one is a newer version Some time in the 80s I think, Did not see a place to oil them but will look more.

Ken,

Go for it, build up a full-featured VFD system , you won't regret it. I use the proximity system on my 1024 quite often.

Ok, Yesterday I did a prelim cut and spring pass and was just over 0.001 off between the chuck and the end of a piece of AL.
I then Jacked up the end and put a shim under one side, Then let sit for a day. Well today I made a new deep pass followed by a small pass and then a spring cut.
I would say this is pretty close for over 9.5 inches.


and this is the other end.


It looks darn good to me.


here are a couple of pics of it, Still having to do some more cleaning. and either put it on the other table or, build an other steel table for this one.
