    Protection to Micro lathe power supply?

    A lock rotor will high ampage will a lot higher than running amps. Now the heat on outside of motor of will be to hot to touch. A temperature probe inside now to costly to install. You can only next best install on outside and use lower temperature for maximum on dial . Dave

    Protection to Micro lathe power supply?

    It would be better to be in hot-spot within the core. But that is not option so do next best thing. Place on outside and use a lower temperature for max. At this point the bub is less than ½" of aluminum and steel from coil. Dave

    Some types of motor protection works on the temperature of motor. It is a thermostat that turn off the motor when gets to hot It is one best protection but cost more than other. Dave

    Protection to Micro lathe power supply?

    This what order a thermometer for my mini lathe motor. Most motors on mini lathes are DC and can run at low speed for a long time. The cooling fan is not turning very fast The advantage is I see the temperature rising and let lathe run higher speed to cool the motor down . All the other ways...

    Commercial Lost Foam Casting Process

    The first time foam type casting was in 1976. It work great but did have cost. I think where foam would be a big winner in castings like lathe beds and milling main casting. Use a chemical bonded sand. I did see a cast iron foundry in 1970's where did machine tool casting. The only sand...

    The motor on the micro lathe is 24 Volts DC , 150Watts and 6¼ amps. They make a time delay fuse 6¼ amps. A time delay fuse will easily go over 5 time the rated amps for start and stalking. There is a graph on the overload amps. The other is a cooling fan for low speed . This is because the...
