Hobbymat MD65 – help figuring out accessories (photos)

[Roger BParticipant @rogerb61624]

As you say screwcutting takes care but it is possible.

The voltage regulator you show will not work with an induction motor as fitted to the MD65.

The slow speed system helps but is not the complete answer. The problem is the stopping time, the standard motor has quite high inertia and takes a while to run down when just taking a light cut.

Two possible solutions:

1) Make a handle to fit in the back of the spindle and turn by hand for screwcutting.

2) Change the drive to a 3 phase motor and inverter as described here:

However, it's also possible to end up with a huge pile of junk taking all the available space, leaving no room for doing anything

You will only ever use 10% of the junk you accumulate. Trouble is

a) you don't know which 10% you are going to use until you need it!

b) The stuff you need now is always in the stuff you disposed of last week to make space!

+1 for the handle when screwcutting. Instant reverse and instant stop when you realise the thread isn't what you expected and threads right up to shoulder owing to built in optical feedback system attached to the motor.

Roger,

thanks for the info on the motor, think the handle option is more in price bracket.

Thanks Gep, I go visit there from time to time, a pleasant place! It's nice to walk around and check out their model collection, or have a look at all the old heavy machines they sell in the second-hand area of their store.

Any similar stores in the Netherlands? We like to take a trip to NL from time to time.

Cheers

Gene
