Let's talk , Cincinnati Toolmaster 1A and 1B

There's no need to change the disconnect box. Breakers aren't necessary. The only reason that a fuse would blow is if something shorts out and that's not likely to happen unless someone makes a mistake while working on the machine's wiring. Unlike a household circuit, where you can plug too many things into a circuit and trip a breaker, the electrical load on the machine is fixed. There's no reason that a fuse will blow in normal operation.

The fuses are there to protect the wiring. The overloads protect the motors. The size of the fuse depends on the gauge of wire that was used to wire the machine. I would guess that #12 was used, in which case 20A, time delay fuses would be correct. If it's #14, use 15A fuses.

Sounds good! Thank you for the info. I was going to go work on the machine tonight but I went to sleep instead . Been a very long work week. I guess I need to make an order for some fuses!

Now I have a question Josh, back to the coolant. Its on the table back side there is only a little plate
call it a funnel and appears coolant just runs and drips all over knee ways. That drives me, so I made
another plate and brazed an elbow with that kinky 1/2" hose stuff now it drains into the drain no more
mess. So is yours like that just curious sam

Sam I will take some close ups for you tomorrow . I am going to be trying to make my coolant system into a hybrid system. The coolant will flow as intended when the machine was new but I'm in a air line to the system to make it a mister . I still need to source a pump though!
 
I just picked up my rotary 5hp phase converter so I may need some wiring help guys at some point in time !

I also picked up a nice Bridgeport machinist vice ! Boy so they hold their value ! $90 for the vice and $450 for the converter .

Sam , I realize what you're talking about now with the back plate behind the coolant drain. I took that off while cleaning the machine and I don't know where I put it but I was thinking on breaking another piece of sheet metal that was larger and putting it there
 
Sam, I found the little plate... Yea I see what you are saying its pretty worthless although when I hook the air it should cut down on much spillage although I still have to pick out a pump .

I decided to repaint the machine and when I was at Sherwin Williams I matched the color but I still thought it was too dark so I picked the lighter shade. I should have trusted my first pick but anyways at $21 a quart this is going to stay the color.

Looks good enough :)

Thats beauty, Its not going to be long now. I dont know if this color will show, but heres one of mine
it is Sage Green - Rustoleum any hardware store. I know the lighting is a little off but its real close to your
color. Anyways my little drain hose works perfectly. Curious, did you take the pump housing off, and is the
copper tubing still in there (pump output) ? I got my eyes looking around for a pump that will work, problem
is most pumps want to pump with some pressure and this kind of pump just wants to move liquid, just giving
a lazy stream. And I am doing fine with plain ole green anti freeze, I just figure its good for engine blocks and
lubes water pumps it does the job for cheap. sam

I see a green and white wire connecting to what appears to be the incoming hot terminals. By code, neither white nor green can be used as "hot" leads; they are both assumed to be at ground potential. You should be using black or red or blue for "hot" leads. If you use white or green, tape 4 or so inches of each end black so that anyone looking at them can tell they are hot.

I appreciate the concern but these were just dangling on there because the company did a start up test for me to show me what it's suppose to sound like . When I properly wire the converter it will have the proper US standard color codes and match all electrical safety codes I still have a lot to buy and I have a master electrician coming out tomorrow to give me the run down.

I love that color Sam! Btw I haven't taken off the pump mount yet I still need to suck out the nasty coolant in it. Thank you for looking for me I am having no luck on line. I have been emailing a guy who im has some pump numbers he is getting me . I am planning on making a er40 collar and I should be able to use them as well .

I took a little video on my collet set up and the wrench I made .

Ok so I got my rotary phase converter all wired up and my 3 phase panel . I have my 1940's tap grinder working and now all I need to do is get the mill running . I still need a gusher pump for the rear of the machine and I believe I need a new contactor . It seems to be falling apart . Does anyone have a good photo of their contactor? Anyways here are some photos. I ran new wire from the inside to the mill head .

I don't have a coolant/gusher pump on my Cincy 1B.
Don't know if the "contactor" you are referring to is in reference to the pump or something else.
If you can be more specific, I'll be happy to help you with anything I can.

Hi Daryl! The contactor is the electrical switch that allows everything to work on the machine when you push the start button. It's similar to a "starter" .

When you click this

It engages this:
