That would be a fun challenge. I think I'll pass, my nerves aren't up to it any more.

Hi Sharky,

Just loose fit (slip fit).
Goes in easily by hand, but stay put.
To open, needle thru the hole, or better, a stepped ring around the coin and bang it onto surface.

Hey neighbor. That is an awesome looking lathe. Do you have a project in mind yet?

No particular projects just wanted some more power than my 13x40 lathe has.

Sorry, no pics... Exploratory surgery on an Altivar 3hp 380-500v input VFD, rescued from the skip with a cracked case - and the stickers still covering the terminals to tell what goes where. I suspect it got scrapped because someone dropped it on the way to fit it...

Internal inspection says it should be hackable to give 400v - 480v from 240 input, IF it doesn't throw a phase loss error (or I can fool it)

(If it works, I'll post a how-to although it breaks all the approvals, starts WW3 and causes ozone depletion and Gerbil Warming)

One for each side, makes a dime.

And to think I was giving you credit for parting/machining a nickel.

It would run me about $20, and then, I'd probably end up with a 2 headed nickel.

Now there's an idea.... make up some two headed coins. Just for fun of course.

That would be a great gag!

Got wheels put on my lathe bench, and supports screwed to my HF 44" tool chest to provide some security for the Gerstner boxes. I've zip-tied the handles to the angle to keep the Gerstners from tipping or sliding. Thanks to Silverbullet for the idea--hopefully I came close to what he was suggesting.

The stars, the employment schedule, and the weather were all in my favor today, and I finally got a coat of grey on Tony Wells air receiver!

It's sitting under the A frame waiting on him now.
