    Boss gave me 2 Ingersoll compressors that have 10hp 3~ motors, a 7KV drive is almost $200. I'm going to bring it to him to program it for me. He is a very smart electrical engineer. Last thing I want is to let out the magic blue smoke…

    I am in my final year in college as a industrial electromechanic. I finished both my apprenticeships and passed with good grades.

    First apprenticeship was in a shop that builds, maintains and repairs machinery from large factories. As well as making welded constructions and machining parts on demand. (~80 employees)

    We were fixing a mold to make concrete slabs, got some reinforcements cut from plating, I was deburring it with a old French (1978) large 3 phase belt sander. Fucker was as tall as I am, had a 30cm wide belt. I was wearing gloves as the parts were large heavy and full of burrs.

    Suddenly the damn thing grabbed my left glove and I pulled my hand out so fast, I never did anything that fast in my life before lol. It ate the entire finger but the glove got stuck. If you press the emergency stop it just cuts the power 😂

    Damn thing sounds like a jet engine being turned off and takes half a minute to come to a full stop. Its fast and efficient but doens’t take prisoners.

    One of the old timers walked past (had 40y on the job) saw me white faced in front of that machine with the shredded glove. He just said “No gloves around rotating machinery.” And kept walking past casual as ever.

    That was my first fuckup ever but it will be my last. No more gloves..

    Isn't the drive expecting a 5k pot? I'd reckon that's why a half turn on the 10k would be registered as a full turn/full chooch signal to the drive 🙂

    Those P-clamps look suspiciously like a One Hole StrapOn

    You would take a common shop tool and turn it into a mechanism of mass laceration. My hat is off to you sir.

    The dew claw must be a very valuable friend.. wish my friends weren't all carpenters.

    I love how AvE introduces Dewclaw in a flurry of insults and then just full-canuckistanian stereotypes out a "howya doin buddy?" in just the most innocent way

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Daniel M says:

    Everyone else: "this belt grinder runs at a fast enough speed for me"

    AvE and Dewclaw: "GAS GAS GAS!!!"

    Just looked up what a Dewclaw is; laughing hysterically.
