Ulma,

Congratulations on your new machine, In the past i have came across the occasional Dufour milling machines in some of the sadly now extinct engineering works in South West Scotland, They are a good machine, I think you should be able to bring her back to good health, She is miles better than some of the modern crap of today,
Want to hear of you making chips with it.

Thank you very much Dan!
i agree she is very solid and well built!
she is slowly taking shape!
i got an oil leak sealed and i'm almost ready to put the 11 qts of ISO 100 oil in the gear box!
always good to hear from you!
all the best!:)
 
Hi Mike
Thanks for this,very helpful. Rewired the 3 phase into the machine yesterday,
have got power to the 110 volt transformer via the two fuses above it, can start all
the motors by manually closing the contactors. Looks like I have no power on the switch
side, the diagram shows 3 fuses u v w but I cannot find these. Can you direct me
in the right direction to find these please.
Best regards Hugo
 
U, V, & W are 3 phase motor protection fuses
they are on the control panel on my machine near the contactors

Hi Mike and Dave
Thanks for all the info, I am now up and running-see photo.
The main problem turned out to be the fuse box for the transformer, poor contact so although it
was showing output voltage /110v/24v/6v it would not power the 24 volt [must be UK spec]
relays in the contactors. Also what threw me was no wires to the 110 volt side of the transformer,
only 24 and 6 volts.
All the power feeds are working OK but the fast feed clutches need some attention.
I made up a large fly cutter using an old car flywheel onto a 40int fitting and the finish on the
Subaru cylinder head is excellent. More cleaning and oiling to do and this should be a
Rolls Royce machine.
Best regards Hugo :cheerful:
