Dummy me - I never even thought about clicking on spot for photo. Perhaps it's due to the image size. The click only are over 1 meg in size while the images that show are in the 400k range. Seems like there used to be a size limit. Below is 319kb in size. I should have reduced the canvass...

Allen, did you pull all your photos? I drop by your thread from time to time to see what you're upto, but today all photos are gone back to Aug 21st.

Yes, it's 220 vac 1 ph input with 220 3 ph output. I'm running it now and it works just fine. Let's see how long it lasts. For a $100 can't go very wrong.

I need to post a bit more often in this forum - it's always been my favorite because of the GREAT sponsor and folks who share their knowledge. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/IP66-220V-380V-Water-Pump-Inverter_10000033281732.html?spm=a27aq.27095423.1978240560.1.78372277JP4tjp Since most...

That is a good looking knife - With the thin blade profile I'll bet it's a slicer! What wood is that? I do like the bolster. Even if that's the "one of two" knives you made each yr it sure looks like a professional made knife.

My luck I'd have to remove the scales (destroying them most likely) and start from scratch. Good luck - the idea of drilling with a small bit to start the hole, then perhaps finishing up with a flat end type endmill might work ok. The hole will need to be large enough to completely remove the...

Robert, I've been trying to respond to your post since Monday but life kept getting in the way. I agree there are much fewer folks posting these days. I know I do less - still drop by to read most days. I'm making fewer knives myself, but still enjoy it. Is your website still active? I...

Dennis, you might not be making many knives these days, but the knives you do make sure are nice. Good work.

Chicken scratching my foot - that's art!

That is impressive! I had to research Bulino engraving to understand just how impressive it is. NICE!

Nothing wrong with taking your time and doing it right - which from the looks, you're doing good work. Keep posting updates as you make progress

From what I've read, for a right handed person the bevel would be facing toward the right. Check this link: https://a.co/d/0bKlJwjE to see what they call a right hand

OK, I understand a bit better now (coffee's kicked in?). AS Sean said, you'll need to look at the motor nameplate to check the wiring there. It'll show low voltage ( 220vac which is what you'll want) and high voltage (460vac). The KBAC manual has pretty good wiring info - the motor will have...

Larry, I guess my coffee hasn't kicked in yet, but I'm a bit confused about what you're asking. Are you saying you have an existing KMG that has a 3ph motor with a KBAC VFD that's working. KMG has a good setup there for sure. Are you asking how to wire up an additional 3ph motor and KBAC...

That sure is a NICE Desert Ironwood burl for sure. Very nice. What type of finish is on the blade? Would you share how you did it? Good job all around - a knife you can be proud of... or should I say sword? {g}
