    Only happens that the first part that needs to be machined requires 12mm plate that I don't have 🙄🙄

    Cheers Matty, I'm hoping it will be quite effective! Waiting for things to warm up a little before getting back to the shop. Only 2⁰C in there at the moment, not nice!

    Hi Neil. Umm. 🤔. Interesting idea regarding the electromagnetic clutch. Now that is indeed thinking outside the box. Looking forward to seeing how this develops. Andrew 👏👏👍😀

    I like the A\C clutch coil. Also all DC current is less treacherous than its always reversing cousin the AC current. I had given this a thought in the past but did not get past the “wonder phase” of how I would provide the engaged drive part. Good choice for the drive motor. Plenty of torque with the built in design not to flame off at some restriction to movement. After going with a cheap axis power feed on my mill I am surprised just how little torque is required to do light cuts. If you are hogging deep cuts you might need a bigger setup, but well I am not that rushed to require that level of oomph. Excited to see how you sort it out. All the best Dan

    I don't think the wiper motor will last very long Dan. I smoked it in an earlier project. Didn't think it was earthed through its body and shorted it out via the two speed terminals. It's a good template though for the concept and can be swapped out for something with a bit more beef if needed. Once it's in place I'll jerry rig it to a PWM and see what gets warm first 🙄🙄

    Hello Neil, looks like a great project, I'm watching with interest. I like the idea of the electro-clutch to automatically engage/disengage the drive. Best wishes, Dean at Retromeccanica.

    Hi Dean, Working on the torque required to power an AC pump on a car I think it will work. But, I might be talking through the purple starfish on this one 😁😁 let's wait and see as the idea progresses. I'm fairly confident at the moment but have been kicked in said starfish before 😊😊😊

    @@NellsMechanicalManCave I think it should be good, those pumps do take a bit of torque to power them, judging by how much fuel you use with it on! I'm just going through my second hand VMC, cleaning and new bearings. It was pretty grubby. Hopefully a video soon. Cheers.
