I removed the tube that covers the edge of the guard from the area and will replace this with new stuff once the part is welded in place. I decided to make a wrap around addition behind the chuck to cover the gap. I had a chance to do a bit more today, I started to make the addition to the splash guard, there was a gap between what the chuck guard and the splash guard managed to stop spraying out the back, which resulted in a stripe of suds up the wall. So all in all a bargain and big help for working out my control panel. This is switches etc removed, in total, an isolator switch 20A, five coloured indicators, a key type switch with two keys, an emergency stop switch, a stop switch and a side to side two way switch, a couple need the contact blocks but you can get them separate. This is the box with the stuff mounted as bought, the coloured indicators are ledtec 240v led indicators with coloured diffusers. :bugeye:, so needless to say it came home with me :thumbup. I asked the man how much he wanted for it and he said £2. While I was at a car boot sale today I spotted this panel, that must have been some sort of display I think. The next job is to make a mounting plate and brackets to house the inverter and a metal switch box that will have the switches for on / off, suds, lamp etc. This is the bracket welded up and mounted should do the job :thumbup: This is the parts for the mounting bracket. I cut the old lamp bracket up so I had the mounting end and a few more bits of plate were cut up to make the mount, I will bolt it to the splash guard. Set further along the splash guard and chuck guard should not effect each other. I have moved the lamp along the back of the splash guard as if the lamp was in the best position every time I moved the chuck guard up it would hit the lamp arm or if the chuck guard was in the up position and I moved the lamp it would knock the chuck guard down. Well at long last I have managed to do a bit more on the lathe, I have just been distracted by one thing and another for weeks so not had time.
