If there was ever a summer to justify AC this is it.

Congrats.

Boy, you ain't kidding. This seems hotter and more humid than ever.

Better than snow though.

Well, moved in machine number seven on Saturday. Got it wired, got it connected to the breaker, got it powered and blew it up Tongue

Someone forgot to switch the transformer taps from 220 to the 480 I hit it with laughingdp

Got things all switched around and the lathe powered right up.

I do have an SDU alarm though which was traced to two small, glass, 5A fuses.

Holy cow did they make the ultimate sacrifice. Of course the filament was toast but so was the glass tube. It maintained it's shape but every sq mm was spidered with cracks and both fuses had some metal on the end caps become molten then blown off from internal pressure.

Would have been sweet to catch that with a high speed camera.

Well, all you're missing is the hi-speed camera, I'm sure you could re-create it.  Grin  popcorn

The perfect example of how a little knowledge can be dangerous, in the right hands.

Usually I feel like I'm a fairly intelligent guy but I'm not picking up what you're dropping.

If you look at the shocked gif, the eyes get bigger than the mouth...those widgets have the mouth bigger than the eyes...
