    Does it matter if the input voltage is single phase 220v 60Hz versus 220v 50Hz? I just want one for heat shrink tooling. The 220v ones on Ebay seem to be 50Hz......thank you. AJ

Your video shows the inside of the lock, it shows over and over in detail what you need to do and a visual so that someone can understand. After watching 8 other videos prior, I finally came across yours and I almost immediately got the lock open! Thank you!!

    If that is hardox, it’s the wrong steel for the application and no wonder it has so many cracks. A hardness tester would have been great for this video. A structural plate like that should not be over 350 BHN. Such as an alloy 4140 or T1 plate. I see so many amateurs using hardox 450 on KZread for structural applications. They have no idea what they are doing.

  • @chuckmccown8893

    Well, lots of my competitors use carbon steel for these saw blades. They wear out very fast. The ones using 4140 or T1 do not last as long as my product. This blade and my blades are all hardox. This is not structural, there are no loads on it. This is a cutting blade, it only sees impact and abrasion. Abrasion is the #1 concern. All these blades crack irrespective of the material they are made from. It comes from attempting to cut arcs and curves. Hardox has noticeably longer life than t1 or 4140. Been doing this for years and have used lots of types of steel. Don't really consider myself an amateur.

  • @chuckmccown8893
    @chuckmccown88937 ай бұрын

    They do not crack if you are cutting straight. The recommendation is an arc with a radius of 35 feet or greater. Everyone tries to cut tighter than that. More flexible steels have less abrasion resistance and longevity is the name of the game in microtrenching blades. @@RandomsFandom

  • @chuckmccown8893
    @chuckmccown88939 ай бұрын

    Most will run on 240 at reduced power output. And when you order frequently you can select the input voltage. But the higher voltages are needed for full output. The only difference between the different voltage units are a transformer inside the converts the input voltage down to like 24 volts to run the control circuitry. So you can go down, how far down I don't know but you probably should not put 480 on a unit that was built for 240.

    You just connect a source of single phase to those two lugs. 240 volts if you have it. And you have to find a screw terminal for a ground. It is certainly not designed to work with our NEC approved wiring in the US.

    Interesting. Did you check out the data sheets of the IGBT modules and the caps? I am wondering whether these components are limiting the output power. If the gates are driven properly, and there is no massive I/C mismatch, I don't see what else it could be, except of course the output transformer.

  • @chuckmccown8893

    I did get the data sheets. Don't recall the details. Bottom line is I that fed these machines with the voltage they specified and got about half the input power consumption compared to what they claim for output power. The factory and the folks behind Amazon reviews never address this issue.
