A year and 2-3 disconnects later, the cover is warped up in the middle and theres no connection for the 3 or 5 wires in the middle. Recrimp it and set your clock for 6 months. Wash rinse and repeat. I'm obviously tired of it.
I just bought, cuz I couldn't find the smaller rated one, a 2.2KW 110 volt, 4 bearing water cooled motor with an ER20 collet, this ER11 is very hard to get a 1/4" tool into it. To replace the 1 HP rated one that is 95% plugged up. Its sitting there, with the pump running, and a fresh paper filter, passing about a coffee cup of water in about 5 long minutes. The week old distilled water is turning a very faint tellow. I think because of the iron cap on the paper filter. I'm going to use it if it survives, to cut out the motor mount half moons for the BS-1. But first I seem to have used up all my 357/LR44 batteries for digital calipers, so I've got to wait for the drug store to open and go get some more. Both motors are 80mm motors. My theory is that I've already programmed the current limits of this 1 HP rated motor into the 1.5 HP rated vfd and the vfd will self protect itself from a slightly hungrier motor. If not, they sell them on ebay. This will be a longer test of my mister kit on the 6040, that's 1/2" thick alu plate and it will be gnawing 2, 62mm holes for starters. Should have quite a pile of swarf to suck up. Stay well everybody. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
