    DOS PC on Dot Peen marker needs replacing, still possible these days?

    I can understand that saving a 25 pin connector is going to save the cost of 25 brass pins. But I don't understand the decisions made to save $ 0.02 per unit.

    Victor 1640B

    The 1640 and 1640B. Reminds of the F-86 in Korea. Took years of development to get to the F-86F model. We give them enough time and they will get to the F model. The price will be so low and the quality so good, nobody else will be able to compete. Now the ten to one kill ratio will be all...

    DOS PC on Dot Peen marker needs replacing, still possible these days?

    If you don't know this, the parallel port removal on PC's is due to economy. I use a serial-to-parallel converter for a parallel port printer. The electronics are so small they are built into the cable header.

    VFD Delay before motor starts. What can cause this?

    I use a cheat sheet for all the parameters that I change. At times I change a parameter to test something. I would do that with the restart delay, or anything else. Make it 2 seconds or 5 seconds and see what happens. In the VFD world I get strange things sometimes and I would not classify any...

    Placement of linear bearing support bars.

    G2STAR, When doing a floor with 12"x12's, when should a diagonal pattern be used? About being flat, there are these tile spacers that I've never seen before. They have a spring clip that clamps adjacent pieces level. I don't like the X spacers because they have to be removed with a screw driver...

    DOS PC on Dot Peen marker needs replacing, still possible these days?

    Doesn't make a difference. Parallel to serial and serial to parallel converters have been around for a long time.

    Manual lathe Relay Problem

    Activating manually? Push the contact arm down on the contactor. The contactor coil will work on a wide range of voltage. So I would clean everything up in those contactors. Brush the points and then test with separate 120Vac. If no chatter then test on machine again.

    Repair fireplace tool?

    Repair it by making a cylinder of brass or copper. 2" long. ID = OD of broken pieces OD = .050 or greater. Insert both halves into opposite ends. Paint black.

    Placement of linear bearing support bars.

    I'm noticing around here that 12" x 12" marble is scarce. Even Lowes has a brand that they are discontinuing. Another independent warehouse place only had one color and that was going away. A lot of those 12" x 24" pieces. Is that the new thing? A lot of simulated something on a cheap substrate...

    Placement of linear bearing support bars.

    Out of the four Thomson bearings, two have the same dimension and the other two are ,025-.030 longer. After accurate drilling and taping I found this out.

    Placement of linear bearing support bars.

    That would be opposite to the one pictured. Do you have problems with a stationary blade? I know about the 3 4 5 method from Michael Byrne's book: Setting Ceramic Tile.

    If no neutral wired to machine, can I use Delta source (Phase Perfect)?

    There would be three separate doubling circuits for each phase. The incoming AC is rectified and fed to two capacitors per phase. The caps are in series with now double the voltage across both of them. This raises the DC bus to double potential of what it would have been with no x2/ That's what...

    Start capacitor(s) or connection circuit. Same thing has happened to me when trouble-shooting.

    Placement of linear bearing support bars.

    As I work on this I can see your point. There appears to be a breaking-in period with the sliding action. The bearings (bronze lined) were taken off of the vertical slide of a router boring X-Y-Z table. The slide bars on the machine are fine polished 316. My bars are 303 which are not that...

    If no neutral wired to machine, can I use Delta source (Phase Perfect)?

    Voltage doubling is just an arrangement of 2 capacitors and 2 diodes.

    OT: GM driving procedure for get sensors on the vehicle to be recognized after the computer is reset?

    The service at the dealer said, let idle for 15 minutes and then drive for 100 miles. :liar:
