Re: Mill wiring help, kind of specific
So what caused the vibration to appear? Being mechanical by nature, most vibration problems appear because something about the physical construction has changed. When a motor begins to vibrate, I think of bearings going bad, (generally noise) shaft being bent, or something about the rotor itself be...

Re: Mill wiring help, kind of specific
leaving the wiring to the experts, a basic question begs to be asked: why did the motor / rotor suddenly need to be balanced? generally when something like that occurs (sudden need for balancing) -> it is a harbinger of bad things to come... As I mentioned at the start of this thread, the motor dev...

Re: Mill wiring help, kind of specific
I don't have a PM932... but I note a couple things odd about your wiring and diagram. One, it appears in your drawing that either the AC 220V IN or the X Power Feed is reversed. In the picture terminals 15&16 are bonded together with a shorting strap. There is an insulating divider and then ter...

Mill wiring help, kind of specific
Does anyone here own a Precision Matthews PM 932 with motorized Z elevation and X power feed bench top mill that they purchased in and around 2017 - 2018 ? The short of it is mine developed a wicked vibration, which I traced to the motor, took the motor to motor repair shop #1 and in a brilliant mov...

Re: Question about R8 arbors
This is what Jacobs lists for R8 shanks -VelocityDuck wrote: ↑Mon May 15, 2023 2:01 pm What does the 3 or 4 denote?
I wouldn't think Jacobs because I didn't think there was a JT4.

The some import chuck adapters seem to drop the JT when they label the arbors.

Re: Question about R8 arbors
The R8-3 and R8-4 are probably for drill chucks too.

Re: Name That Tool (v4)
Yep! Head of the screw is eccentric. And what I thought were threads in the nut were just scratches. So what you typically use these for? I have no idea what the previous owner was into. They're super low profile work holding wedges/ clamps, the eccentric head of the screw swings one of the hex fla...
