    Adding variable speed to a tool.

    We did a milling machine some years ago that had a 3/4 or 1 hp motor, I don't remember. We had the motor rewound for 3 phase, I think in the 3 or 4 hundred $ range and found an Allen Bradley 2 HP VFD used somewhere for $ 100. The old VFD was quite a bit larger than they are today, but it had a...

    Adding variable speed to a tool.

    This is the way to do it. If it's a mill you may need a C or D or C to D flange adapter, but a 3 phase motor and a VFD is the way to go. The VFD can be powered from Single phase, usually it is a matter of oversizing the VFD in the 75 ~ 100% range. There are VFDs designed for this purpose and...

    Pickup truck vs trailer vs van

    There are f150s and F150s, properly configured, 7000 lbs is not a problem. Any of the full size Pickups properly configured will tow this comfortably. The separate garage at the back of the "big" toyhaulers may look separate, but there is usually a door between them, often not sealed, and the...

    Coronavirus

    Whether you take it or not, you're going to be paying a lot more than that to get out of this.

    Need suggestions for a towing vehicle

    This whole trailer and tow vehicle sizing can be more complicated than simply looking at the maximum towing capacity. As other have suggested; an enclosed trailer with 2 bikes and gear is going to be tough to keep under 2500 lbs. For quite a few years I towed a 6 X 10 enclosed trailer with one...

    Pro6 Trac School

    I've not done Racer 5, so I can't compare. Pro6 Trac School and Fast are similar, but different. The in class portion of Pro6 leans more to the dynamics and science of motorcycles, Fast more to riding the track. Both are quite extensive. The on track sessions of Pro6 are setup for small groups...

    Yes, a free day is included. Specific weekdays, I don't recall which ones, but I think the Monday following is the school is one option.

    Wifi 6 vs Ethernet? Any real world comparisons?

    They were a Cisco shop. PoE APs, that had to start in sequence as the start-up power exceeded Class 3. All of the copper (Cat6) was Gb, the uplinks to the switches were bonded fibre pairs (I don't know the speed, probably in the 10 Gb range) I had a fleeting thought of using fibre at home...

    Wifi 6 vs Ethernet? Any real world comparisons?

    802.11ax can achieve faster speeds, however, it's not as easy as a single Access Point. My house is also wired with Cat 5e cable, I switched to Gb switches and router a few years ago and all of the drops are Gb capable. I use a Ubiquiti AC WiFi AP that could originally get 200 ~ 250 Mbps, but...

    Thor Buys Tiffin

    The Allegro Bus is sort of a stepping stone to Newell Coach. Will Thor lower the standard to Dutchmen, KZ, Jayco? Cheap RV plumbing, electrical, cabinets, HVAC? What has happened to Berkshire since they acquired Forest River? (I don't actually know as I don't spend a lot of time in these rigs)...

    Track suits

    It's pretty common practice for Lindsay to check your gear first session of the day at Pro 6 Calabogie days. He'll check it again if you've been off track. He catches a lot of infractions.

    "Obstruct Plate"

    I didn't want to distract from this thread as it is an important distinction that many seem to think just because they get away with something, they think it is therefore legal. How many times have we seen "I've passed lot of cops with my plate mounted there, (or HID lights, or integrated tail...

    "Obstruct Plate"

    (This was changed a year ago last July. Now 6500 kg This is why F250s and 2500s where rated at 9900 lbs, but were essentially the same trucks as F350s and 3500s rated at 11,000 lbs.) In any case, the same thing applies with illegal HID and LED conversions. These both fall under the CMVSS...

    BMW M1000 RR

    Digital Rendering I suspect by someone who doesn't really know motorcycles. Front wheel travel looks limited by the fairing, Rear subframe is just a bit too spindly and the rear wheel is a half a length too far behind the bike. (and, the seat is not for corners) Looks fast just standing still...

    New Pro6 series at Bogie?

    I can’t imagine running races at Calabogie without practices. It would be just too dangerous for someone who has never ridden there before to show up and go racing; too many over the crest blind corners. I feel for you being on an under powered bike and not being able to pass. I run a box-stock...

    BMW M1000 RR

    There is already an M option for the current S1000RR; Carbon Fibre Wheels, a few carbon fairing parts, battery, some adjustable chassis parts, more performance based ECU settings (Race, Pro1, Pro2, Pro3 . . . the most subdued is "Race"?!), maybe a few other things. Back to back, they feel like...

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    Not to worry, it looks like it has a clip master (on the wrong way around), easy to replace the chain.
