CwazyWabbit Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Lol, I use a Union Graduate wood lathe with a 1HP 3 phase motor powered by a variable speed inverter. Can be run at any speed you want from a light tickle to very aggressive And it doesn't slow under load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CwazyWabbit Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 how fast does it spin? Nige's will be running at either 2800 rpm or 1400 rpm at a guess, they are the most common induction motor speeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I'd say the most likely accident will be it falling out of the vice while on ....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CwazyWabbit Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I'd honestly be more concerned about it falling out of the vice Nige than you injuring yourself on the spinny bit..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I think the potential areas for concern seem quite broad to me - top of the list perhaps being it removing small pieces of metal from your grasp and converting them, through a process of circular acceleration, into ninja throwing stars ....

CwazyWabbit Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Having used something similar the majority of the ninja throwing stars don't tend to hit flesh (mostly chucked towards the floor or behind the wheel), injuries from the spinny bit are usually loss of bits of finger and the very occasional random piercing by stray bristles.....

pete3000 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Please don't wear gloves if you insist on using that, other than nitrile which will tear off if you get too close, welding/riggers gloves will suck you in Glasses or goggles plus a full faceshield would be a plus. Or the ultimate in safety would be cutting the plug off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffR Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 There was, in the late 70's early 80's, a custom car mag (for the love of me I can't remember it's name) than ran a series of articles on making your own power tools. Tried making the belt linisher using a collection of 2x2's, a washing machine motor and the pulleys from the washing machine drive. It sort of worked quite well as a combined poor mans defibrillator come dead (and live) skin remover, p!ss poor as linisher tho. What the hell was that mag called Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I agree that some cheapo bench grinders are lacking wellie. For wire brushing I do like using a small angle grinder with wire brush cup, or disk. Agreed, pulling lengths of wire out of your clothing isn't fun, but it's the price you pay. For BIG stuff I used to have a large wirebrush cup for use in the 9 inch grinder - cumbersome, but effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
