If I was standing in front of the display case, I might be able to pick out something useful. But I am likely north of 100 miles one way to such a display, everything in these here parts is Skil & unless you want to polish the leading faces to flatten and sharpen the edges, junk that will just burn the wood at any routers speed. Suitably sharpened, they work well, fully capable of removing wood in .001" or thinner slices, the dust just hangs in the air, and its ready for varnish without any further finishing. And they stay sharp for yonks but one must be willing to do a proper sharpening. In any event, my mill is now removing another piece of pie from the other end of the bar to help balance it. At about 3x the feed rates for the first one. But I've another problem squawking at me, bearings in the heads back gear shafting are sounding like they are eating the bearing cages, and the whole head casting is running almost 40F above room temps. %$#@ bearings I looked up, same family of bearings used in roller skate wheels, I can get them for $4.50 a sleeve of 10 from vxd! Now, if someone can tell me if the speed output from these vfd's is motor actual speed, or the frequency feeding the motor, which isn't likely the same. 3 phase motors, but they do have a slip angle unless the armature is a very strong magnet so it stays locked, which is a roundabout way of saying I cannot do rigid tapping, and I consider that a must have function. Otherwise I would have already ordered an empty head casting and machined it to carry this motor in place of the spindle cartridge. So its looking like the only way I can use it is to remove the existing chuck, put an identical drive gear on its shaft, and put it exactly where that 1 horse is now, and replace ALL the bearings in the head with the highest quality higher speed rated bearings. Or find a belt drive kit for it, but the pix I've seen will use the space I am using for the spindle encoder now. Moral of the story is that I got eaxctly what I paid for. Thanks Florian.
