I probably would have just put a seperate switch in permanent so that the speed setting would stay the same. Still a fun little mod though. Thanks for the video.
Those switched potentiometers are readily available but your solution will probably last a lot longer than a replacement given that the original failed. Nice job 👍👍 Cheers, Alan.
beats me how you get your big fat fingers into such tight tiny spaces, and that you can actually see what's going on, well done. excellent helpful video thanks
I would suspect either no relay between that switch and the motor, which over works the switch or if a relay is used there is no diode on the relay to quench the back EMF with the flywheel effect of the chuck slowing down. Which will also over load the switch. If no relay is fitted I would fit one with a diode or the microswitch won't last long either.
Hey Myfordboy, Do you rememeber a rude jock telling you that casting what amounted to an aluminum shaft was an utter waste of time and to get a 3D Printer and print your molds ? :) Hope your enjoyin the 3D printer ! :D Ive got myself a DW Mk1 recently set up next to my 'Creame' Axminster C0. The DW is also Creame so they sorta go well together. I never did get around to doing any casting though ! :/ Was taken away to work for the RN in a Grunt/Dogsbody capacity. Sounds about right eh ! :) Maybe in time I will make some castings. Hope you well and enjoyin your projects. I made a micro boring bar holder today on the DW and C0 for the C0. It takes 4mm HSS Shank./Drillbits .
