Needed a pivot to make a daisy wheel so I made this thing (see first pic). When screwed into a T nut and locked into a slot in the milling table it offered a great 3/8" post/pivot. It worked so well I'm going to try and put this pivot thing in a place so maybe I can find it again for later, LOL. I will also need to remember that I have it, another LOL.

It will all work out, it always does!!!

Wow! You got your hands full. Hope everything works out for you in the long run.  I have a cousin that lives some where near there. I need to go visit here.

The box looks just so plain, like nothing in it. With a fake looking radio knob on it.  Just saying.
I will say, they have been going down on price. I think they are unloading this stuff at any price before the tariffs kick in.

Well T.W., I have been fighting a company for fraud, burying 2 brother in laws (both in their 30's) dealing with a heart problem, that wasent even a heart problem (prolapsed leg veins) moving my parents in next door into a house I bought, graduating off the oldest boy, taking guardian ship of a niece and nefew (their mother decided that being a crack whore was her calling) taxiing my mother in law to dr. visits (she broke her knee when she slipped down concrete stairs) mowing my in-laws place (my FIL had a shoulder replacment) trying to keep my wife's 25 yo suburban alive (she's determined to get 300,000 miles out of it) running my shop, and trying to not loose my patience.

How about yall?

Got if for a good price, hopefully you can get through the programming and turn it into something useful!  

Good luck!

Got this Chinese 3HP VFD yesterday for 5 bucks. Looks new and doesn't smell burnt. It could be working. But wait until I touch it and plug it in, LOL. Never had one like this before. I read about all sorts of programing headaches. And I'm not the best at button pushing!
