    blackangus's Tools

    Hi my name is Bob

    I used blackangus as a user name because I had Black Angus livestock on the farm. My equipment is a Hercus 9" by 36" metal lathe ( South Bend clone ) and a Craftex bench top milling machine. My current project is a power feed for my mill. I am using a DC gearhead motor with PWM speed and direction controller. I have the motor mounted and working on a dog clutch to engage and disengage it. Will post some pictures soon. I may need some wireing advice on limit switches etc. but will post questions in the help wanted forum.

    Thanks for now
    Bob
