• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

    Change of plan

    @RogerS I have the same or similar C3 31 machine. I had to split the casing to remove& install - it is literally the cases of the equivalent saw/spindle and P/T machines connected via 7 no M8 hex head screws. The axle slides out. The table slider is easy to set via the 5 no screw studs if...

    My next challenge 😡

    The join right next to the tap is clearly a point of ingress, plus it's a cheapo ikea or similar beech worktop (beech will always go black) which, having used one for a small bench, are poor quality. Frankly, I think this is on the owner rather than the tenant, unless you could prove they were...

    Victorian MDF?

    Paper mache being an old French technique, I think the author would refer to it as such. Your citation refers to friezes and architectural decoration, i.e. faux carving, so on account of those 2 factors I don't think it will be. The mid industrial age was hardly short on innovation!

    Wadkin DM handwheel

    After a replacement handwheel, 15" or so diameter, for a Wadkin DM morticer. Mine got broken during a workshop move, which was upsetting... not fussed about authenticity if it saves £300 over a genuine part.

    Hammer C3 31 from rotary converter issue

    It did. I only skimmed vaj's comment and am not expert in such matters. Although on reading through it seems he skim read my posts also! Machine runs, tests tomorrow, so unless there's an issue with power in cutting, I'll assume the right amount of electricity is going where it ought.

    Will do a separate post. Basically it's a 90 degree mitre stub with 2 intersecting profiles of 20mm radius in 40mm thick panels. Requires careful machine set up or very careful handwork to get the apexes as central as possible. The panel is jointed with loose tenons (mortices cut with domino but...

    Hammer C3 31 from rotary converter issue

    Yes, that seems to be correct. So for reference here's what worked: Swap L1 (brown) and L2 (black) In my case the machine now runs but backwards, so swapped L2 (now brown) and L3 (grey) It is possible that the machine would work without swapping L1 & L2 in the first instance (the dc brake...

    Hammer C3 31 from rotary converter issue

    That's nothing, I had to unbolt the 2 cases to get mine out... I did see your post about that when searching about the C3, it should be conceptually straightforward if time-consuming to rectify, after all they are made adjustable like that to account for manufacturer tolerances

    So, within an hour or so, this forum via Roger S has solved my issue. Shows the power if the collective! Oh, the stool up there is Wych elm, not chestnut & is one of a pair, just in case any Eagle eyed observers spot it...

    Hammer C3 31 from rotary converter issue

    That's the little fecker... vibration from dc brake rattles it loose. Machine running backwards, but running! Will investigate switch fettling. Thanks so much.

    Hammer C3 31 from rotary converter issue

    It could be. The machine worked on 3ph power at another workshop. New location and new power source now from the converter. The hum is a distinctive brake hum, but constant without dropping out with a 'clack' like they do when working correctly. All this on pressing the start button.

    Hammer C3 31 from rotary converter issue

    A call for help! I have a Hammer C3 31 and a Transwave MT5 rotaryconverter. The DC brake hums when switched on but the motor won't start. I have swapped L1 & L2 to match Felder diagram (black/brown wire conventions possibly different in Europe?) to no effect. My experienced sparky was reluctant...

    Hello, I'm a professional furniture maker based in Sheffield (though not a native). Trained with Andy Lawton in Grindleford. Mostly work as subcontractor as a designer and maker, surfaces for sitting on or at, for private and commercial (trying to do less of that and more joinery). Shown are a...
