Something is wrong with this particular website. If I can't see an image I get a small red X. If I then edit the post but copy the exact same image location, I can now see the image. Weird. Not sure how to fix that one.

Website is fine. somewhere in the internet, the lines or a repeater was down. My internet was down most of the weekend. Just came back up in the past 30 minutes. I figured they cut my internet off because of my very high usage... And I pay dearly for internet service in my area!
 
Interesting, because when at work (very security conscious place I might add... :rolleyes:), and attempting to view threads here with pics in them either I get some 'img' (image?) comment, or a red 'x' but no pics. I get none of that from home or on the iPhone.
 
Test of copied content from 109

Still cannot see it. I assume it's due to permissions on the googleuseraccount drive where the content is stored.

If that were the case, no one could see it. I see the pic in your post just fine Steve. The problem could be on your end, but I have no suggestions as to what that could be, sorry.

Yeah, me too. What's confusing is that I see 117 just fine, but not 108 or 109. I'm using Tapatalk on an iPhone. When I get home I'll see if I have better luck with other devices.
Thanks!

I am thinking about converting to a DC motor and speed control. The choices are permanent magnet or shunt wound like this.

I was concerned that a permanent magnet motor may attract and hold chips all the time? Has anyone had experience with this?

Nice mods to that lathe. When I get over my frustration with Grizzly, perhaps I will try a couple of those. What size rotating table is that? I did confirm the SB 1002 is going to be discontinued after the remaining stock is sold. Nice to know they are selling the new machines for less than what I have tied up in the "test machine" I spent so much time and frustration getting up to par. ( within reason ) And to think I bought two other machines from Grizzly after that. I hope every one else has better luck with Grizzly than I have.
 
Ron- Thanks for chiming in again! I understand your frustration. Obviously I should have waited a few months before I bought mine.
That rotary table is a small 4" from Sherline that I had with my toy mill. Its height limits my ball turning to 1.5". I am eventually going to do a DC motor mod and put a DRO on the machine. Trying to figure out if a permanent magnet motor or a wound field is better.

I am clueless on the best type of motor to put on these. Seems there is a mix out there. I suppose which ever would give the most consistent torque through out the speed range. My Powermatic 3520B wood lathe uses a 2hp three phase with a VFD. 2 pulley ranges and does well. If that's worth anything. Otherwise I plan on mounting a curved shroud over my lathe motor and just use earth magnets or switch magnet to hold it in place. ( removable )Thanks for the insight. :)
 
I am so sick about Google Photos changing all my links! That's why many of my pics are absent. Sorry if this has annoyed you too. I am now re-posting from Flikr which hopefully will work better. Can't wait to see how the autonomous cars work out!
