power feed?

The video problem is an incompatibility between the forum software and Internet Explorer. As IE is now considered obsolete I doubt it'll be fixed anytime soon. The easiest thing to do is just use a different browser. Ultimately many more sites will experience similar problems as IE becomes more out of date.

Hi Guys,

I made mine using a wiper motor quite some time ago, using a tumbler mechanism to provide a neutral, forward and reverse function. I never got around to making a speed control since I had a variable voltage power supply that I used to test and set it up with, and also to measure the voltage and current requirements under load.

The wiper motor uses about 2 amps at 8 volts cutting 2 mm DOC with a 12 mm slot drill at about 150 mm/m

You're right Cogsy. Logged in with Chrome & the video showed up.

I experienced similar issue on another forum except with sporadic non-display of pictures. Amazingly, after enough people complained it magically healed itself. Yet nobody upgraded to new version of IE, or latest Flash etc. So in that particular case it was forum software software issues.

Hi George,

Your second link doesn't embed the video in your post because it is the wrong type - it needs to be the type where "youtu.be" is not split with a period.
I've highlighted your first link and if you just post that portion within a normal post it will embed just fine. In fact, if I follow your second link to YouTube, I get the address "h ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1dFYdO9qAc" which would also work perfectly within a post (notice it doesn't have the 'embed' bit in it). I should also point out that the reason it doesn't work in my post is that I've added an extra space to stop it working so you can read it.
