Why not have the controller floating on a lead and hook it where ever you standing at the time

Looks like it's going to be on the carriage ---------- but a bit prone to get damaged in that position. The way I have the Revo mounted----- it is fastened to a 3/4 " sheet of good ply. That in it's turn in bolted to my workbench-------a bolt at each end.----That allows me to swing the Revo out at rt.angles to my workbench, if I remove one of the bolts. When at 90 degrees it gives me access to my under bench Router. Cheers Richard On Friday, July 21, 2017 at 2:33:34 PM UTC+1, Tim wrote: Keep us posted.

It is a Dayton that I am changing from the Woodchuck to the Revo Little bit of metal lathe work,welding and drilling fixing plates etc. Easy job. Limit switches will need changing,awful type but that is about all. So the Woodchuck will now be the one to have a new control for the leadscrew. On hold for now. More later, when I have finished the conversion, it should make the Revo a better tool. then it's back to wiring up the Woodchuck, that is for later when I get all the components.

So if you are working with the old woodchuck system, it uses a 90vdc motor. I would think the motor would still have the name plate. The motors where mostly sourced through a company called Dayton and sold here in the states at a company called Grainger's. The potentiometer is actually the speed and voltage converter. It's been discontinued for a long time. Take a look inside the box, it's really simple. The newer machines have a LoveJoy connector on the end of the shaft. It has two metal components with rubber spider in between them. For reference https://catalog.farmchem.com/l09558 . It works well. The motor side coupler slides away for free spinning. The other side connects to a 5/8" shaft that connects to the lead screw with a solid coupler. Does that make sense? I think I can find a photo if you need one. Hope that helps a little.

I was a little surprised that no one asked what power voltage I was thinking of using, could have been 12 or 24 volt dc as i;e Windscreen wiper motors,.I don't think that would kill me ! ! !?? I did smile to myself re the safety lessons, all good knowledge and I do not get offended, so thanks to the others who responded. NOW ! Yesterday I started changing the Drive unit from the old Woodchuck to the Revo. It is 110 volt of course and runs through the transformer 240 volt The end of the leadscrew had been just cut off and the collar complete with grub screw fastened,---------- not good engineering in my book,-----hit and miss as to where the grub screw grips?? More about it later Richard On Thursday, July 20, 2017 at 11:29:19 PM UTC+1, Tim wrote: Well I knew my generic answer was not going to be enough. I'm not aware of a wiring diagram for the legacy drive system. It was all pre-wired and the manuals only showed where to and how to mount the components to the machine. Since you are familiar with electronic, I'm not sure where you need help. I can't give you a wiring diagram for components that I don't know that you are using.

However I do not think a wiring diagram as used by legacy is going to kill me. I have been involved with electrics for many years, A wiring diagram is what I am after Richard On Thursday, July 20, 2017 at 9:23:37 AM UTC+1, ITwoodwork wrote: Hi Guys Given Tim's information any competent electrician should be able to investigate the wiring and draw a circuit diagram or schematic. Otherwise leave the electrics alone, electricity can curl your hair if you get a shock, it can burn and even kill you. Treat with respect, probably more than you might give the wife or partner. Roger & out. PS I have had live demonstrations of electric shocks!

If any one has one that shows the control box and limit switches etc. Can you post it on here or email me Thanks Richard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
