A few lots of 'Copper' (I hope) 10mm metal braided sleeve  for the 3 phase VFD wires on my CNC that currently run single insulated past some sharp metal edges :palm: parallel to the stepper and control wiring for good measure.

Also a couple of emergency stop switches to fit around it in case it all goes horribly wrong.



Coffee, Food, R/C and electronics nerd in no particular order. Also CNC wannabe, 3D printer and Laser Cutter Junkie and just don't mention my TEA addiction....

Mew-sleeve discount is of dubious value  because when I bought mine the shipping (worldwide) was included. Now essentially the same price. Possibly better situation for aussie peeps but that does the rest of us no good.

I bought new snips. But not regular ones.
Don't you always try to strip wires with your snips? Me too, and I somehow fail miserably when I try.

I fixed that today. I bought 14 22 160.

I stand corrected Thanks. PEBKAC. when Dave sent out his discount I went through the checkout  but somehow fail-ded finger click on radio button coordination test. and didn't notice so took the total price listed (DHL option selected) as gospel.  :palm:

You will enjoy it buddy but I would recommend doing the 4 wire conversion on the leads. There are a couple videos on YouTube for how to do it. It's easy, even I managed to do it. If you need the links for the videos just post and I will find them for you.

Handy as hell wee tool. I have the older cabled one too which is handy but the battery one is so much more usable!

Siemens Inductor
« Reply #7587 on: December 06, 2018, 11:47:49 am »
Yet, another used Siemens beefy inductor, 2 bucks, as I can't bear the thought of the recycler going to salvage the copper inside, so here we go.

Measured details : DCR = 0.04 Ohm , inductance = 502uH@100Hz and 460uH@100KHz.

Yep, still don't have any idea what to do with it.  :palm:

Buy another LCR meter to test against your current one then you 'need it'  :-DD

Toroidal transformers
« Reply #7593 on: December 06, 2018, 03:50:08 pm »
As previous post, the same visit to local recycler, grabbed 2 used step down transformers, 4.5 bucks.  :P

Smaller one -> primary 2x115V, secondary with 2 windings : 15V@0.5A and 9V@1.5A
Bigger one -> primary 2x115V, secondary with 3 windings : 10V@8.3A, 22V@2.7A and 24V@2.7A

What a weird secondary voltage windings at the big one that is made in USA.  :-//

Yup, I got a new bank card so had to destroy the old one. They cut through it like a hot knife through butter. I'm well happy with them, I have the long nose pliers too. They are also well made and nice to use.

Nice cables! What do you use them for? I haven't seen the connector on the ends of them before.
