lmao. also, I literally wrote in the OP that I already use a compressor, so good job being illiterate

>>2890672
Honestly I would prefer to only buy used compressors. New shit is marked up so crazy it's not even funny...

You can find them used for pennies on the dollar. Maybe not so much on the small little pancake and other oilless compressors, but the big shit for sure.

Pic rel was practically brand new and purchased for like $700 at an estate auction. New price for a comparable compressor is $2500-3000.

I've bought plenty of old compressors for dirt cheap. They're almost always worth buying.

>>2890679
it's from online auctions starting from 1$ with stuff from pallets with amazon returns ,clearances frome dealerships reselling second-hand items, etc. there's been a lot of those lately and they usually sell for about 80-100$. it's 100% legit and working properly (unless it's a damaged item specifically, which is clearly noted in the description) at the time of sale (which is in the sellers interest, because anyone can just return it otherwise), I'm only worried about how it'd hold up

>>2890683
thanks, this reassured me. I actually already won the bid, but I've been having second thoughts, especially after I came across a smaller compressor from the same brand 50% off on amazon, so I thought about not picking it up and settling for half the size and several times worse air capacity but brand new

>>2890608

Ideally i want it to hook onto a 4modi switch with off-2k-4k-6k, but that's not fully fledged yet and lower priority. I plan on using the controller that came with it.

What kind of torque do those motors make, are they steppers? And no I'm not getting out my fucking magnifying glass to try and read those specs... You do realize most drill presses have a belt or gear reduction in order to get the torque necessary to drill right?

Chucks can be had in different flavors. Some of them are threaded and have a left hand screw in the middle of the arbor that keeps them from unthreading themselves when used in reverse. Some of them are a Jacobs taper. Whatever you decide to use as your drill chuck arbor will have to have something along those lines in order to use off the shelf common chucks.

Will the motor bearings take the axial load? Many do not. And that's why the motor drives a spindle with a belt. Spindle has bearings and an advance mechanism designed to take the load.

No minerals in tap water will leave streaks on your screen/glass/car paint/fascia delete as applicable. Like you already learnt

>sure anon, try blasting a tap water enema at your screen
Gets rid of the estrogen by absorbing it into your own system
Thread died etc.

The viability of tap water depends on how hard it is. I wouldn't recommend it unless you have a really low level of dissolved solids.
Just buy screen cleaner if you're concerned. it's not that expensive and they don't need to be cleaned that often.

>>2890580

Described the phenomenon of technological advances in efficiency driving more and more functionality with less and resource use to do it until that technology is abandoned for even more efficient and functional tech. Postulated on how far and how fast it might happen and was mostly right.

>Fuller uses Henry Ford's assembly line (used by Henry Ford at his car factory), as an example of how ephemeralization can continuously lead to better products at lower cost with no upper bound on productivity. Fuller saw ephemeralization as an inevitable trend in human development.

That was 1938, before true jet aircraft existed...in 30 years we'd be on the moon and jetsnare common, with early tech rendered obsolete and ephemeral, with far less effort and money needed to replace it with better stuff that does more.

he also invented an entire branch of empirical systems study and wrote the books on it-
>Synergetics is the empirical study of systems in transformation, with an emphasis on whole system behaviors unpredicted by the behavior of any components in isolation. R. Buckminster Fuller (1895–1983) named and pioneered the field. His two-volume work Synergetics: Explorations in the Geometry of Thinking, in collaboration with E. J. Applewhite, distills a lifetime of research into book form.

"Synergetics follows the cosmic logic of the structural mathematics strategies of nature, which employ the paired sets of the six angular degrees of freedom, frequencies, and vectorially economical actions and their multi-alternative, equi-economical action options ... Synergetics discloses the excruciating awkwardness characterizing present-day mathematical treatment of the interrelationships of the independent scientific disciplines as originally occasioned by their mutual and separate lacks of awareness of the existence of a comprehensive, rational, coordinating system inherent in nature."

Have you looked at watch repair channels? There's almost no work that requires a lathe

>>2890613
>Considering purchasing a watchmaker's lathe so I can restore and repair watches. Also to design and make my own watch movements. Maybe even a mechanical calculator.
>Which mini lathes should I look at?

This reminds me, I picked up a tiny lathe thingamabob at an auction along with some other crap on a pallet for $5. I'll try and remember to snap a picture of it. Pretty oddly built and very small. No brands or names anywhere on it that I've seen so far. Haven't had time to mess with it much.

Was tearing down an old Van Dorn drill the other night to clean it up and restore it back to working condition. Got it for free with some other stuff. It does work, I just figured it could be cleaned up and greased, and the Jacobs 3B chuck that was on it had a couple busted up jaws, so I wanted to change that out. Couldn't figure out how the damn chuck was on there though. I figured it was threaded on and chucked the shaft (on a non-critical step) into my 16" south bend and got on the chuck with a pipe wrench and tried to get it to come off. No bueno. Just started slipping in the chuck jaws.

So I started thinking maybe it was a Jacobs taper on the chuck mount, so I took it to the anvil and gave the side of the chuck body a few whacks to see if it would vibrate loose. Well it did come loose, and then unthreaded, and then I could see where I cracked the root of the thread at the base of the shaft. FUCK.

So I chucked it up in the 4 jaw, centered it up real nice and drilled it out to tap for a 5/8 fine thread grade 8 bolt. Got about an inch of threads in there. Then turned down the head of the bolt and put the 5/8 16tpi thread on it for another Jacobs 3B chuck I had. Back in action again baby!

Tweezed a piece of steel about the size of a grain of rice out of my penis and I'm starting to think this trade isn't for me. Does this happen a lot?

Anyone know of a product that will get the RS232/serial from a lathe display so I can get the values on a PC? (Which maintaining the normal display functionality)

>>2890653
>Is that likely to cause me issues?

No. With very limited exception, motors have very little external magnetic field. The entire point of the steel core in the stator is to act as a magnetic yoke, directing the magnetic flux inward toward the rotor. Same deal with transformers, though their design inherently allows somewhat more leakage.

Inductive coupling is mostly a problem with inductors that are simple rods, as they don't really contain any of their magnetic field. Even this is only an issue with things very near the inductor, as magnetic fields fall off according to the cube of distance, and that's in the worst-case (a simple dipole).

A much larger concern is electrical noise, not stray magnetic fields. Any conductor hosting a pulse-width modulated power signal spits out a lot of EM noise. This can cause glitching in your equipment if you're not mindful of this. Shielded cables help, twisted pairs help, filters at the output of the drivers help.

>6-phase stepper motors

The fuck? Are you sure? That's not common at all. Or do you mean it just has 6 leads?

>unipolar driver

You do you, but you're throwing "free" performance away by not using a bipolar driver.

Try bigger bulbs. It can definitely take far more than whatever is in it, since lamps were usually designed for incandescent bulbs and now LED bulbs consume way less power.
Rewiring a new lamp is piss easy though. Stock some passthrough WAGO connectors.

Is it wood or vinyl? What is the stain from?

>>2890239
Thank you

>>2890335
I think it's vinyl. The stain is either a heat stain or a steam stain. My wife was using one of those vertical steamers near it

>>2890191
sandpaper , and clearcoat. if it was from steam it would have dried out in a few hours

>>2890187
Pretty sure it’s been manufactured by Niu, probably an n1s with modifications. There will be a type sticker somewhere on the inside.

Anyway the problem with these is that the motor speed controller and gps and the remote starting etc are usually built into a single PCB to prevent theft, and you may have to replace that entire unit to get it to work, and add an ignition key switch as well.

If you can get the controller out you could find a Wuxi Lingbo that fits your model and doesn’t have the gps stuff. Some say the original one can be flashed over RS485 to remove the speed limits and gps lock but I haven’t seen anyone online demonstrate it

Op here, all of those things are well outta my skill range and would prolly have to ask someone who works on what could be this (model) and thx for that potential clue, but like- what kinda professional would I need?

Like a guy who mods and does computer shit? Cause it sounds like I’d have to rip out everything until basically all it’s functions are just: if power- then throttle- move forward. I mean all the other basic shit too, speedometer, brake/signal lights, etc.

Y’all know of nny website/places where people work on ev bikes?!

>>2890242
All you gotta do is connect 2 cables from battery and 3 cables from the brushless motor and 3 cables from the throttle and 2 from the brake and then run the vesc setup tool and done. Time to git gud.

>>2890245
I may have just enough skill to do that with some research.. thx anon

>>2890530
Once again, thanks for the helpful info. Yeah, perforated soffit. Why does that preclude a vented ridge, if it's functionally the same as the box vents?

>>2890532
no problem at all. i'm heading back into work soon, but i saved the thread and i'll check in again later if you have more questions.

as far as trading out 1 kind of vent for another: again, my company doesn't charge for it. others might. yes you'll have to sheet over those box vent holes, but like the skylight, it's quicker to do that than to shingle around each one.

like i said, ridge vent works by circulating the air from the bottom of the roof. other vents (power vents, whirly vents, box vents) are big enough that they don't need that air circulation pulling from the bottom to work. if you put ridge vent on a house that had a closed soffit, the air would stagnate and not be pulled through. you'd get moisture problems.

maybe my most important advice: look for a company that has a workmanship warranty, that's hopefully 5-10 years. my company has a 10 year warranty - but we're the only one in my area. a 2 year warranty is the best you'll get from anyone else in the area. also look for a company that has been in business for a while. A 2 year warranty is basically useless. leaks take a while to spring up, and when they do, they have to work through the shingles, the felt, the sheeting, down into the attic, through insulation, and finally start soaking into your ceiling where you may start to notice it. you can install a roof like a complete retard, everything on it wrong, and you might not see any leaks for 5+ years. i've seen some crazy, shit work over the years. i've even seen a roof where they didn't nail most of the shingles. no nails at all, just laid out the shingles roughly where they should be, and the guy didn't notice for 2 years.

there are a LOT of shitbag roofers out there. it's pretty standard for guys to start a company, do it for 5 or 10 years until they start getting customer callbacks, then shut down the company and run. a lot of meth-y dudes in roofing. all it takes for leaks is a nail being an inch or 2 in the wrong direction.

>>2890548
Oh, I misread, you said withOUT a perforated soffit. Yeah, ours is perforated, so we should be good, thanks.

My most likely company will be Bowling out of Louisville, who've been around for like a century and they also own the best bakery in the city, so not concerned there, but want to get a range of quotes. Tremendously appreciate all the detailed info.

>>2890551
sounds like i'm only an hour or 2 away from you then. that $26,000 quote should be fairly close to accurate. only difference may be city prices vs small town.

You're very welcome. Like I said, there's lots of shitbag roofers out there. I try to help steer people in the right direction when I can.
