Tour My Retirement Vintage Machine Shop in Walla Walla 

Thanks 👍

Hello from Wall Walla, thanks for tuning in!

Thanks 👍 I watch your channel!

Thanks for tuning in!

@DonDyarprecision I have a typical hobbiest's spare room machine shop: SB and Atlas lathes, Burke #4 mill, Delta drill press, Quarn-style T&C grinder, import band saw, Baldor Carbide Grinder & some other stuff. I'm looking for a decent small vertical mill to complete the shop. I can do some decent smallish work, but I love, love your setup of really HD machines in about the same space. Happy New Year!

Thanks, I managed to assemble these machines at very low cost compared to the more modern machines, slower to use but more versatile

Hi, thanks!

Hi, thanks for tuning in

All the machines are the lowest cost these days, I just cleaned them up and started using them, thanks

@@DonDyarprecision you have one of the nicest little metal gardens I have seen. 😍

Awesome! Thank you!

Hi, thanks for tuning in!

Same to you, thanks for tuning in

It was the cheapest one on ebay a couple of years ago!

One hell of a deal I am sure, thing is a beast

Hi, thanks!

The AVS is more like the Monarch 10ee, the heavy pattern American 14X30 weighs 10000lbs!

The converter is the ADX15. I have magnetic starters on the machines but when the converter is off there is still two hot legs going to the machines. I have a cutoff switch before the converter and only have it powered when I am in there. I had to locate the 15hp idler motor outside because it is loud and vibrates. American Rotary sized this for my 5hp max machines and it works very well even better than some utility 3phase in local rural areas. I can say this unit works considerably better than home spun units or 30yr old commercial units of the same size I have used.in the past. And always had a cutoff switch before the converter to totally cut power anyway. Some don't like the special Baldor idler motor noise, I built a doghouse for it just outside the wall and its all good.

Thank for the reply don I just got a adx 15 myself. I might have to put the idler outside also good idea. I have 3 machines in a row and was going to use outlets and plugs in one corcuit instead of running a 3 phase panel box and individually hard wiring each machine with separate wiring. Hopefully this works for me.

I am running everything like you describe and it works fine, just have a cutoff for the converter to completely cut power to the machines. The idler is in a doghouse outside, too loud for videos, also it was noted that bearings can be dry in the idler and I did have to grease them, there are fittings for that. This converter works much better than an older phase matic rotary that I have used, these things have come a long way from the dark ages, I am surprised on the much improved machine performance and even switch operation, I think you will like this.@@LittleJuniataMC

I am a moving concern here, there is constant work going on, you play all the pocket pool you want Mildew, I have many projects to do and little time for the helpless likes of you.

Hey Mildew, your comment reads like it was composed by a man with a paper ash hole, give this gentleman some credit, he knows what he's talking about, and I'm sure he can also walk the walk, can you?
