RE: What's on your Christmas list ? - arvidj - 11-28-2014
The good news is that all of you have seen and offered suggestions as I unwrapped and installed my Christmas gift.
The bad news is that I now need to figure out something for Bev that she will be as excited about as I was about the lathe.
Shopping for me is easy ... for her ... not so much.

Good luck with that Arvidj.

Doh, busted! Yup, I spent a whole bunch of money on a new camera for my birthday so that's why Santa is broke this year.

Ed,
I suspect we all would have a lot of money if we didn't have a lot of hobbies.
Hoping that Bev does not read this forum,
Arvid

Either hide it from your wife or go and pick out one of Rob's - he's always saying that he hasn't got enough room in his shop. I know which one is the safer of these two options...

LOL Ed - I should have been clearer! I meant Bob could either hide the money from his wife, or pick out one of Rob's mills

I asked for one of those Hall effect sensors direct from HK/china on ebay, 4 digit rpm digital read out.
For the lathe / mill when I do the variable speed conversion on them.
I'd be curious to know more about the "Hall effect sensors". I assume it's some sort of tachometer?

This is the hall sensor I mean
No endorsement of that seller or auction
the little button magnet on the pulley, the threaded sensor is non contact pointing at it.

When I do a three phase motor and vfd conversion on the mill, this will give you direct rpm readout.
John, we're all hoping Deb is alright.
