this is a nice, itallian made vacuum pump, that requires 220 or 440 3
phase power - you can run it on a static converter (see links on my
web page, or look up yourself) or you can use an inexpensive VFD. It
has a TEFC motor so it's perfect for a wood shop, no problems with
dust getting into the motor, etc.

I've decided to auction this one because I have another already just
like it in my "inventory", and I'm running out of space. Even if you
add in $35 to $50 for a VFD, this pump will be a really good deal.

Bill... is this pump from a country of very tall folks???

My system is working well, better on your end than on the stuff that I made, but
I'm very happy with it..

The house in mexico is getting done a lot faster than we expected, so I'll be
talking to you about used 220v stuff soon..

Could you please explain this, Bill? Those designations are Greek to me.

Please ignore my previous post, Bill. I took a look at the e-bay site.

Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled (TEFC). These motors are generaly for industrial
use. They are better balanced than general purpose motors. As such, they are
desired for lathework especially if you plan on using a Variable Frequency Drive
(VFD). Dan

If ya have a jet 1442, it's the big ass thing sticking out that gets in your way
when you are face plate turning.. *g*
(conveniently positioned directly in the dust and shaving path)

At least yours blows the dust away from the operator, and doesn't hang so
far out as to demand a couple feet of extra floor space like the 3000.

One thing Ol' Blue had going for him was the motor hanging under the stand,
out of the way.

I've noticed that in the pictures of the Nova, but I think i'd prefer that..
sort of 6 of one, half a dozen of the other, I guess..
I got spoiled by the mini with the motor tucked underneath the bed, I guess..

Another pet peeve on the motor placement on the 1442 is that it catches a lot of
shavings and dust between the motor and the headstock that has to be cleaned
often... and I try not to do it with the compressor because my shop is messy
enough now without blowing crap all over the place..

I doubt if it makes much difference, but I put a nylon stocking over the end
of the motor. AND I use a 1-8 to 11/4-8 adaptor which puts the faceplate or
chuck nicely away from the motor. But you are correct--it is poor placement
of that motor behind the headstock.

I use a commercially-produced, behind-the-turning-stock collector scoop
attached to my dust collection system, Mac. When blowing off the headstock
and other parts with compressed air, I just pull the 4" hose off the scoop
and hold it behind whatever I'm blowing off. Keeps the wife happy not to
have dust everywhere.

Max

I was just gonna ask about exactly the same 'fix' - the nylon stocking over
the motor. I have a Jet 1236 and occasionally wondered about how much
thought the design engineers gave to the placement of the motor. Not being
one to be overly critical, I don't believe there would be much of problem
with damage to the motor given its location. An occasional cleaning up may
well be enough to forestall any problems.

good idea, Max, I've thought of using a plastic disk to keep the chuck from
over-tightning, anyway...

as to the OP, it would be a LOT worse if the fan wasn't in it's own section,
though..

Good idea!
I've had to stop using my DC because of inadequate wiring in the shop, but the
new shop in Mexico will have a dedicated circuit for it so I'll do just what you
suggest!

I would guess that's one reason for the "totally enclosed fan" or whatever...
the fan gets dusty but not the motor...
Like George said, your choice when they design them seems to be having it in the
chip path like Jet or hanging out to bang your body against like the Nova..

Max... (Hey, that's what my parents named ME!)

We went on an RV trip to Baja Calif. in Jan. 05 and fell in love with the
place...
Bought 2 lots near San Felipe, about 130 miles from the CA border, on the Sea of
Cortez..
The first house (the one we'll live in) will be finished by August or September
and we've decided not to wait, but to move there as soon as the house is
ready... we'll build a rental house on the 2nd lot for investment and income..

AFAIK, I'll be the only wood turner in the area and hope to fill a niche with
the decorators in the area..

Sounds like an adventure. I've motorcycled the Baja peninsula and agree
that it's an enchanting place. But I'm worried about being a turner
there--is there any wood?

I've heard that there is ironwood and mesquite but haven't seen any..

I'll be taking a lot of wood with me and my coach Chuck says that he'll keep
sending me care packages.. *g*

I would guess that worst case I'll be buying stuff on Ebay and paying shipping
and duty... (better than paying for electricity in Calif.)
