The part number does not come up on the Metrol site because it is seemingly made for Mazak. Because of that I had no idea what the wiring requirements were so I opened it up and found it required a 24v, 0v and the output was +24v. Sadly that is no use for my control so I had to snip out the wee circuit board.

I then metered the wires into switch pairs and LED pair and then was able to wire them all in series.

It is now back together and working like my control needs, the input of my control is sourcing so the 24v comes into the brown wire from the Input and goes to 0v via the blue wire.
Now ready to fit if and when I need it

What is it

What is it

A busy day was had by the TYA.

@slim_boy_fat No challenges, yet.

Well, the one I set myself. To get the last Tilly Lamp working. Parts arrived this week, No I collected the bits.



This lamp has being a difficult case. All the separate parts worked on a know good one. As did the know parts worked on the patient. But not as an original build. Much head scratching.

The cap was dead. So I had a new " old one" in the parts, so it was rebuilt and a new Mantle. Thank you @DAPPH for the tips.
The burner was cleaned and fitted to the new cap and tested.
Again, working on a known good one, but not on the original.

Next, Vaporiser.
New stock, they test them before they send them out.


Old RHS.
This was the main problem.
The new one works on both, but the old only works on a good one.

Next, the control valve.
This had issues, but it would stop the old vaporizer working. Striped down. Nothing shouted at me to say what the issue was. but I had the bits, so we used the items.



So did it work?

OH YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Must put the black lid onto the RHS.
But one happy TYA.
Yes all 3 were fired up.

I have had these two old hand saws on my wall for over 20 years.
They have been used by me. But they looked good as wall decoration.
But time has taken it's toll.



Last of my Pitch pine, shaped to fit my hands. The original fixings have been saved, but need a host more attention to be od use.






The metal work cleaned. Yes, I did dress the teeth. Not that they needed much. The worse was the top one and the starting teeth.

Metal was cleaned, rusted treated and painted. In todays sun, it didn't take long to get 4 coats on.


Back in place.
The original Brass screws and cups were reused.






Shifted to the right.
Yes, it is a quote from Wonko the Sane.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I need to made some Wad punches, for a possible project.



The red tube was donated by Mr @Chillitt



This was liberated from my metal pile.



A sharp edge was put on both with a grinder and finally with the SIP wet stone grinder I have.

Both then were heated cherry red, quenched into old engine oil. The smell, the smoke and the sound is great.



They then were again placed onto the wet stone and cleaned to a dull shine. Heated from about 1" down and the blue colour was pushed up until the whole cutting edge was indirectly heated blue. Quench in cold slated water and tested.



Looking good.

Its not the same, you didnt obscure the plate i that

Found a round tuit and refitted my lathe belt guard, which came off around novemeber. It still needs a bit of work plus repainting a different colour.

A hole in the ground, well the start of one still a fair way to go.

So big and round

Then came along a chap bowler hat

 

[garethp]

Not really something I've made but something I've done, new wheel bearing which involved stripping the front suspension after much battering on steel parts inserted in an aluminium upright, best bit is its only a year since it was last in bits and everything was greased.

Could you used voltage divider and kept the circuit board?

 

[Ashley Burton]

@garethp Audi?

Don't think so.
Control has sourcing Inputs so is putting 24v out and that goes to 0v, when the switch on the toolsetter opens the control sees that as an input and records the position.

The way the toolsetter was wired it required 24v and 0v and then 24v was output when the switch was broken.

Big yes, hopefully not round though, if it is I've went wrong somewhere.

Sorry as in voltage divide on the output?

[brightspark]

Christ even hitlers there back left

 

[garethp]

@garethp Audi?

Yep

And the effing pinch bolt

 

[Ashley Burton]

Yep

And the effing pinch bolt

They're a classic!

As far as the control is concerned the ideal is just a switch contact as that will be the quickest and most precise method.

Audi A4 B8/8.5?

I see it's been answered above. Audi = pain in the hole
