Holley pump is a 12V rotary pump, car fuel pump. I tried loads of pumps for parts washers and when left on for long they all died or were totaly unsuitable. the holley pump is easy to strip and clean and works really well. I saw a lift pump on someones hacksaw, I kept the last I changed on someones car to try it, obviously far better to have a pump operated by the saw than a battery pump. I have the pump running so it flushes all the swarf out of the cut.
The one thing going for 12V pumps is you can control the speed by adding bulbs or ballast resistors to the circuit, or even a length of stainless welding rod;-)

The data plate shows that the motor is set up for 420v, but that does not mean that it cannot be modified.
It is currently 420v 3-phase Star ( Y ) connected. One end of each of the three windings is connected together, forming a common point. The other ends of each winding go to the three legs of the 3-phase supply ( if you had one ).To run it on 240v single-phase mains, the motor first has to be converted to 3-phase Delta ( indicated by a triangle ). The end of the first winding goes to the start of the next, and so on until all three are in a loop.
Look in the motor junction box. If there are 6 terminals, you are in business. Only very old Star-connected motors will have just three terminals ( and even they can usually be converted to Delta by opening the motor to get at the common point of the three windings ). Disconnect any external wires. The lower three of the six terminals will typically be linked horizontally across the bottom, by copper bars. Remove these, and instead link vertically. You will need three vertical copper bars, or link wires. That's it, the motor is now 3-phase Delta.
For test purposes, with a light load, you can run it on single-phase 240V by connecting power to any two of the three now-vertical links in the motor junction box. The motor may spin up, or it may just humm. To test it, just spin it up by hand ( safely ! ), in the correct direction. If you want to actually use this motor to run the saw, then to ensure that it is self-starting and to get more power, you will need to add an AC-working motor run capacitor of about 50 microFarad from one side of the mains to the third vertical link.
Obviously, only attempt the above procedure if you can safely work on AC mains equipment.

So i have the saw running but now have another problem. I cant get the hydraulics running
.
I do not want to take the top off the control valve in case lots of springs etc fly everywhere
!
Would anyone have any ides of a service/user manual for the saw?
I think that it is a Kasto BSM 253 if anyone can help.
Thanks.

Should have it's own lub system, from what I've found ...
Should be in there...
Try these people Kasto UK for a manual these machines are all over the place (world) and range from 300 Euro to 3K Euro used!
