A couple weeks ago I was corresponding with someone about the Jet 16 Mill/Dril. I was supposed to xerox some info and pass it along. I have lost your address....
Hi Oliver, I can't believe no one responded on-list to your excellent site. That is absolutely fascinating that you are making a metal lathe from scratch. I'm...
Hello I'm building my metal lathe too. But I had to do a new furnace after with refractory cement. This change produced a better insulating effect and the ...

Hi, I broke a thread cleaner in a hole that is threaded completely through. It is the hub of my tractor and I don't want to have to remove the axle. I can...
Interesting problem! My first thought was to use an ESD erosion setup, but I can't see how you could do it without removing the hub from the axle. My second...
OK -- I like that. Now I don't want a lecture on what happens when a motor starts or all that falderal. I am in a building that has 3 phase power. The panel...
For three-phase circuits, the formula for Voltage Loss is: Voltage Loss = .866 X Amps X Wire Resistance per 1,000 feet X Distance in thousands of feet X 2...

Thanks. Its been a long time so a dumb question-- why times 2 wires. Is that to allow for the ground return? Yasmiin ... From: Jack [mailto:j_eoff@...] ...
Do all the calculations to make sure there won't be too much voltage drop, but make sure you meet the code, which comes from a table. It looks to me like 200...

Chris: Having been in the fire alarm busines in the US for many, many years, I'm familiar with the NEC and the NFPA. Is NECA germane to Alaska only or what? In...

Well as soon as I have the $ 15,000 or so to hire an electrician to do the work I will. Mean while I am going to have to do the work my self although even I...
Yasmiin: I think you mis-read his post. He didn't say to hire an electrician to do the job. He said to hire an electrician to tell you how to do the job. ...
Dyslexia strikes again! NECA is the National Electrical Contractors Association. I meant NEC, the National Electrical Code. My brain says one thing, my brain...

You must also remember that the NEC code is concerned more with overheating the wires and burning the house down than with voltage drop. Hence, you may have to...

Yasmin -- Nothing says that you must hire an electrician (although some local codes may require that the project be "blessed" by a licensed electrician), only ...
