OK, Bill. 
Are you trying to set Dewell up for another hack??  --  Sending him to a seller in China???   ;-)
Look out Dewell - they might get you too!   Go to Grainger or some place you have done business with that you TRUST!
Good luck!
Mac

My guess is some one online or at the book company has hacked your credit card details cancel it immediately id be ring the book company too to inform them in case they have a crooked employee

This is just my opinion on your card problem. As for your speed controller problem maybe this might help

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Input-AC110V-Output-DC0-90V-DC-Motor-Speed-Controller-/161665442975?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item25a402e49f

at least then you will know if your controller is had it or not

It was working good after I moved it to the 900. It just went goofy all the sudden. Now I am goofy because of this: I just went to the grocery store and my credit card was declined. So I called the number on the back of it. Here is what I learned: Someone in Aburn, Washington tried to make two purchases at a grocery store totaling $1,415.95. I am in Oregon- six miles from California. I've never been in Washington. Just this week I received a book I ordered online with my credit card, so I went through my garbage and retrieved it's packaging...and guess what? The company that shipped me the book is located in Aburn, Washington. Do you think there might be a connection between my book order and the fraudulent activity on my card both of which are located in the same city? There's always something to deal with. :-(.

The so called switch in this case is an obsolete speed controller sold by Grainger.   Stuck at one speed is a new one.   I agree with Mike, was it working before you moved things?  If it was rewired to a permanent speed, it would be moving at the maximum speed.  Otherwise a couple large power resistor would have to be added or an external transformer that lowers the voltage could be added to the system to slow the motor down.  A picture of your entire setup would verify that.

Was it working for you before you switched it to the 900?  There should not have been any changes made to wiring internally, just the external switches.  If you did not check or don't know the condition before the swap there are a couple checks you could make if you have a volt/ohm meter.  And if all else fails, it's a new switch.  Do you have pictures of the system we could look at and see in the box as well?  Usually with these switches, they either make the motor go or they just don't.  Never heard of one stuck at one speed.

OK

Drive motor control box problem; speed adjustment doesn't work. The knob turns ok but it doesn't affect the speed which is stuck at mid- range. I thought the knob might be slipping on the shaft but it isn't as I removed it and used pliers. Has anyone had this problem?

Thanks Mike for your help.

Yes just hook it up in series, that way either switch being depressed will break the path to the motor.

OK

Thanks you Curtis for that. The MA 12 only has one stop switch. I am going to need another stop switch. Does anyone know how I should wire it up - should I tie it in to the existing one? Thanks for your guidance.

The limit switches are not problem at all to make, I made my own and used nothing more than a T bolt and thumb-screw on the limit switch, I mounted the switch onto the Legacy rail, and the router carriage is what I use as the stop. Pretty simple. ;-)

You're right...It is an awesome idea. I would never of thought using my MA 12 in such a way. Having said that, what all can be done with it Mike?

...Question:  My MA 12 has a 12 position index drive center...works great. On the other hand, my 900 has a tapered drive center and 4 position index.  I am thinking about putting the 12 position on the 900's tapered drive center as I plan on doing a lot of spiral milling. Can anyone see any reason I shouldn't?
And Curtis, to answer your question- I just mounted the linear drive motor from the MA 12 onto the 900. Now I have to design some limit switch activating brackets for the 900 frame... I could use some help on this as the brackets are no longer available for purchase. Has anyone made their own?

I did a 17" table base with 240 indexed beads.  Was a real pain but the crank handle method worked out well for it.  I used a 15" pitch times 4 threads per inch on the lead screw means you will need to turn the handle 60 times for one revolution of the stock.  So that is 240 stops if the handle is advanced 1/4 turn for each bead.  Each bead was about 1/4 inch, actually .22  Good Ole Woodchuck!

Mike
OK

Can someone please tell me what I could possible make that would require



the use of a 36 and/or 40 position index plate(s)?



BTW:My previous two posts indicate "me" as the author of those posts. If



this (one) does also; please let me note that my name is Dewell and I
transplanted myself from Florida to Oregon 15 months ago.



Was it you Curtis (CAG) who wanted me to send you the MA 12 videos a



couple of years ago, so you could copy them? Or was it someone else? I stand
ready to assist you. Please identify yourself.



Be cool and always...SAFETY FIRST!
