Got these at present - still looking through pile of manuals.

I have an Easiturn with Fagor 8020 control unit arriving soon, great machine all working prefecting. The previously was a stickler for keeping it nice and wroking up to spec. However it runs off 3phase, I was wondering if it would be easy to add a VFD to the system so i could run off 240v (single ph...

Anyone done this? Tried?

Thanks

Still need one of these desparately.

I think it is the same steady for the Viceroy 280 (confirm???) Cash waiting

thanks

First place I looked. I can find 8 groove and 12 but not 10.

thanks

Hi I have an Easiturn 3 - the motor pulley is 52.4mm (50mm nom ?) and the spindle pulley is 63.50mm (60mm nom?) - both are V belt with 10 grooves. The motor pulley has a 24mm ID hole in it with keyway I would like to change the motor pulley to the same size as the spindle pulley (so I get a 1:1 rati...

I have a setup almost identical to the pinned post at the top of this section (easiturn conversion some observations) I have a spindle 3 card and have forward (CW) sorted, but can't quite see how the reverse spindle functionality is achieved, could someone please help explain this to me? Thanks STEVE

Hi I got the 200mm version, fitted in less than 2 minutes ... brilliant


Thanks for the help!

Ah you see I am from a Computing/electronics background as well. As such didn't realise that I didn't need a different back plate. The cam pins are directly on the chuck. (I am 99.99% sure)

Dear Nemo1966, Question: Will a D1-3 chuck 160mm fit/work ok on the original D1-3 back plate? If it's a D1-3 chuck, it will fit the D1-3 spindle nose. A D1-3 chuck has either directly mounted Camlock pins, or it is permanently mounted on a backplate with Camlock pins. In the second case, the backpl...

I have an easiturn 3 with a D1-3 chuck 125mm, it's on its last legs and so thinking of changing soon.

WANTED - Easiturn 3 fixed steady

Or compatible

thanks

Hi, does anyone know what machine the Easiturn 3 was based on? (I did know once but forgot).

I am trying to find a fixed steady for one.

thanks

Thanks it was just a bit corroded on. Made up a pulling jig and got it off.

Hi trying to eliminate a bit of backlash on the x axis, i got to the pulley driven by the stepper belt and removed the two small grub screws that are approx 90 degrees apart. I cant find any grubs screws under those but the pulley will not budge. Am i missing something? If not any tips for removing ...

Hey guys/gals, what are you using for the lubrication system for the easiturn? There seems to be conflicting information on this when i google it.

Thanks

Anyone in the uk know the paint codes and type of paint used?

Thanks
Steve

I am however not happy with the speed control being provided by the Spindle3 card, which seems to be fairly inaccurate - commanding S200 for example gets me 221 rpm, and the difference between the two is not linear, increasing with rpm. (And to forestall the obvious questions - yes, I have used Mac...
