Polishing Wheel

[paulm]

very nice indeed and if you give me a visiting order I promise to come and see you Jim.

Not necessarily so Ed. What it means is changing from state to another in a crude explanation. It can make single phase ac operate like 3 phase ac by chopping the sinusoidal waveform up (which is the most common form) at different phase angles. LOL

Yeh ! OK got it !

 

[Terry]

Yeh ! OK got it !

Easy isn't it Ed !!! LOL

Could someone explain what the heck an inverter is, apparently Ive got one on my axminster 1416, its next to the on off switch, I know what that is. The only inverter I have come across that I know how it works is ten pints of Abbot Ale, cracking inverter that!

Neil - that's COnverter. It's converts a 4 into a 9... ;)

I could have done with chopping my sinusoidal waveform up. I had a stinking cold and then my sinusoidals played up.

Nope, inverter. Normal modes operandi head up feet down, ten pints of Abbott head down (stairs) feet up (stairs) hic.

 

[Jim]

Buffing wheel now up and running in my shed .. Not used it yet though.. Running off a speed inverter ..

 

[paulm]

Looking good Jim

 

[Doug]

Top banana James

looking forward to hearing how well it performs

 

[Terry]

Nice one Jim !!!

 

[Penpal]

Jim, What is the polish you are using and what will you fit in the chuck on the other end? it looks the part mate and I do like the size for pens.

Peter.

 

[Jim]

Peter, what is in the chuck is part of a package that came from Axminster Tools for woodwork polishing. See It Here The chuck is secondary and was put on for me by the lad who built me it up ..

Take care with that red mop Jim they are used to de burr metal and to remove rusk and the likes also to give stainless steel a satin finish

That's a converter Neil. From sober to smashed

 

[Bill Mooney]

Looks the biz Jim.

 

[wm460]

I want one of them.

 

[paulm]

Just the job Jim. I want one

I love seeing alternative uses for things ( is this where the alternating bit comes in Terry?) why do I feel disappointed that my polishing machine is, and always has been ...a polishing machine ! I presume it's single phase sinusoidal waveform must still be in tact ! I was on the hunt for an old washing machine motor to convert ( using a special arbour/pigtail) when I found the real thing for good price . I bet you're really pleased with yours Jim !
