"The fitment of the new inverter and the three phase motor has completely changed the use of my 90+ year old Drummond Round bed lathe. Using the original pulleys to change the speeds at the chuck also entailed changing the flat belts which was tedious to say the least! The speeds I could obtain were 90 rpm, 258rpm and 275rpm. As my lathe is not back geared these speeds did not fit my requirements With the inverter and the three phase motor I can now obtain speeds from 90rpm to 800rpm without any steps and with much smoother running. I do not now have the problem of "chatter" during machining and the lathe now runs a lot quieter at 'all' speeds. It has also now become a much more useful and pleasant machine tool to use." Mr T.O. Acton - Rossendale, Lancashire.
" I must say how impressed I am, not only by the inverter speed controller, but by the excellent dealings I have had with your company. Upon seeing the advertisement I telephoned for more details. These arrived the next day! On several occasions I telephoned for further information and on each occasion I was dealt with very promptly and accurately. Once I had ordered my inverter, it arrived within two working days! Altogether an excellent service" Mr D. Williams, Clwyd
"Further to our various telephone conversations over the past few days, in which we discussed the possibilities of using 'Newton Tesla' for electrical site work, we would like to thank you for your quick and positive response, particularly, the help we received from Tom Bennett, for his discussions over the telephone to our site engineers.We will be contacting you again in the near future to discuss our work requirements for control panel design on our next set of contracts." E. Woodward - ACEquip Ltd. Cheshire.
"My Myford lathe with your lathe speed controller is excellent..... there is no vibration at all from the three phase motor and the machine is very quiet" John Higham Merseyside
"Many companies supply very good equipment, but understanding the application and coming up with reliable solutions is far more important. We get an excellent service from Newton Tesla in this respect!" Mike Franklyn Electrical engineer Blue Circle Cement
"I was very impressed with the service I received from Newton Tesla . In particular George Newton took considerable time and trouble in explaining how the Mitsubishi AC drive system operated and worked out the connection details for my Colchester Student Lathe. Fitting was straightforward and once I had mastered the programming unit the system worked right first time. It was very good value for money." Derek Toller, 27.07.01
"Receiving your letter ref: 1700701/NB of 20/07/01 about your new
website reminded me that I have been meaning to write to you for over a year to
say how pleased I was with the speed control system you supplied for my Raglan
lathe.
At least the delay means that I can say I am still just as satisfied as I was
when I first used it.
I can do screw cutting without using the back gear, and the smoother 3-phase
motor has eliminated the noise produced by torsional oscillation of the single
phase motor "Rattling" the sliding half of the pulley of the
continuously variable drive. I now hardly ever use the CV drive, as the speed
control provides the range of speeds normally required. A 20p piece can be
balanced on the headstock casing and hardly moves at any speed, whereas on my
Myford it soon falls over." Bernard Harding - Model
Engineer, Surrey. 25.08.01
"Firstly, I must say that I'm greatly impressed with the service from Newton Tesla. I do not Know how I've managed for 48 years without this ML370 inverter system, it has made my life a lot easier, especially for screwcutting. I am now 78 and have had this Myford ML7 lathe 48years. It was 2years old when I bought it, and now its better than new!." D Cox. (Northants)
