Magnet Motor from Argentina, part2

[shipto]

I know the feeling about not getting things done as quick as you would like. I finally got a lathe 2 weeks ago and thought I would have a go at making some better pivots but havent found time. I really need to get my various projects sorted out as I am currently working on getting house sorted, getting drive sorted, my overunity device and am planning a wind turbine too. I do have all the jigs and parts cut for my pivots just need to get some time to turn them down now.

Excellent, What lathe did you buy?

I bought a Mini Lathe last year and well pleased with it and not a bad price, it is the Warco WD250.

Regards the wind turbine have you seen these sweet generators this guys been selling on ebay.

Nice little lathe, CLaNZeR   

Mine is a 12 X 36 Champion off of a WW II Navy ship. Note drill press I mounted on back of lathe for lite milling and keyways.

wow nice lathe clanzer much better than my little clarke http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/cl250m-metal-lathe but its good enough for what I need. I like the vintage one too it will probably outlast both mine and clanzer's. I have some old three phase motors at work that I am going to modify for my wind turbine. It will be kind of a piss off if I can get them generating a decent amount because we had about 25 of these to be thrown away and I only saved 2.

That little lathe is ideal mate for making small stuff.
Just being able to drill straight holes through round metal bars and making spacers is just so easy compared to trying it with a normal drill.

Must agree with you though Idnicks lathe survived the war and will probably out live us all !! 

Flying home tonight so got a clear weekend to get out and play with my machines.
The sliders have not turned up and THK wanted ?900 for 16 of them ouch  , so Plan 2 in place now and use brass levers.
