After using my smithy for a few months those dang e-clips are really starting to peeve me off.
Each time I need to do a gear change I get out the screw driver, start pushing an e-clip off the gear shaft, I hear a PING! and it sails across the shop.
Anyone know where I can get those e-clip fasteners with the front flap on them? I don't know what they are called.
Next modification is a DC motor and PWM controller, I picked up a GE shunt wound 180vdc 3/4 motor and have a controller coming for the lathe and I'm in the process of getting another for my mill. I'm sick of the slipping belts and belt changes.
