Rotary phase converters are actually fairly simple to make from what I've seen! They use a larger 3 phase motor that you Jumpstart with a smaller motor on single phase once the 3 phase motor spins up it generates the missing phases
This Old Man from Washington NC always looking forward to your Wednesday Video 👍. No disappointment in the quality and laughs 🤣. Charles great show at the airport. Really enjoyed meeting you and your Wife. Love you Guys 🛵🧔💝💝💝
This is just how my 1910 12’ Seneca falls lathe works. It had a big 220 motor originally but my dad put a 110 on it when we put it in the basement. Works awesome.
I am an electrician, those converters are about 60% what they say output current is rated for. Definitely need to build one with an old motor rotary style.
Also an electrician and completely agree, or really for as light duty as that lathe is going to be used for they could probably find a 220 single-phase motor that would be fine in place of the 3-phase it's got in it.
They should just get a VFD, they're not that expensive, and you can program current limits so it won't burn out the drive. Single to 3 phase VFD's are a little harder to find, but they're definitely out there. Pretty sure you can get them at Grainger.
@@andrewt9204 they don't need variable speed though, that lathe is setup for the motor to run constant speed since it runs through a gearbox, they do them like that so you can get exact repeatable rpm's for thread cutting and tool feeding, you would lose a lot of the usefulness of owning a lathe that way
@@Greg1096I was gonna say, im not an electrician yet (in school to be one) and Im a bit unsure of why theyd use a 3 phase lathe in a shop like they have. The one my buddy has in his shop is a single phase and it does everything we need just fine
You should support and center the open end of that pipe, or a cutter will jamb on it and go flying... never hold a piece with the jaws alone that sticks out more than 2 inches.
Everytime I see them do something with a lathe, I cringe a little. I wish one of them would spend a day with an old timer machinist and just learn as much as they can. I'd hate to see someone get injured on that thing. A lathe is one of the most dangerous tools you can own, and none of them seem to be thoroughly trained on how to operate one. -machinist of 10 years

ive never been able to get the hang of parting stuff off on a lathe, mine is no where near as big as what u guys have an id love to have that machine but parting is one thing ive tried about every type of parting blades an still have the same issue with all of them, get about half way through an it stops cutting an if u keep pushing it just burns the tip up or breaks the carbide inserts so now i start the parting an get it as far as i can an pull the hacksaw out.
I see Isaac and John were thinking just like I was a tillotson 212cc electrical start. A muffler for a 70 ft ventilated to the outside with an anti bird catch on it to keep birds from a nest and if you can get enough R. P. M. You can run it govered. That way you don't overload a ceriert at least that would be reliable in your venting all the and you have a low voltage high power output device. By the way this is my second time watching this video.. peace out to have an excellent 👍👍👍👍
I have used a hard skateboard wheel on a pivot arm with a good stiff spring works great as a chain tensioner. Love this channel, only difference in men n boys is the price of our toys!!😊
you guys have good engineering and fabrication skills i like to see ideas like this come together whenn i was a kid my brother bought a riding mower with a 3 speed trannt with reverse it would wheelie and do burnouts but yours is bad ass !!!👍👍
Hello, Your service is top notch, I always love it. Perfect balance between looks, performance and handling! , looks great. I'm also looking at your stuff, I'm building an electric car.
That was brilliant of RUclips to go to an ad. right when you guys went to test the lathe. I think it would be you're best bet to be in the market for a 240 volt motor? that will fit on that lathe and that would be problem solved. you would just have get the right size pulley so the lathe will run at the proper speed? and you shouldn't have anymore issues in the future. that mower is still one of the best projects that you have built. however I'm still waiting for you to revisit the Honduki? project I still think that it has massive potential?
[ Certificating Electrician ] If it seems like the same problem wirg different equipment it will be down to your method [ heavy cuts at diameter cost you heavy Amps ] If you can't get a 3 phase shop supply, get the lathe converted to a single phase motor, that would remove the 'hobby' digital converter from the equation. [ I recommend 240v ]
Love it! That "lawn mower" was just one of the most insane builds you guys have ever done, just off the chain, really. An engineering marvel in it's own right. And, yeah, so this is the part where you hear from the machinist in the audience lol! Please be careful with the lathe, you can get hurt so quickly, and fingers and eyes don't grow back.
With the number of subscribers, views, and patreon members you guys have you can afford an appropriate 220v single phase motor for that lathe. I would have went that route before buying a phase converter in the first place.
Exactly what I was thinking, would take about 5 minutes with a grainger book to get exactly what they need, would be well worth the money to avoid the headache of messing with phase converters
I'm not bugged they put a 120V motor on the lathe, it actually makes a lot of sense and should work just fine (please make a good mounting setup for the motor, add a tensioner pulley to the belt on their replacement motor, and add a switch). First things first if you do get a lightswitch, they work just fine for this sort of stuff. They're made to handle this sort of load and if you're worried about it then get a 20 amp switch just to be safe. Second things second, when you're cutting like you were, I suggest getting an acid brush and a small cup then brushing on a little bit of gear oil to add some lubrication when cutting or machining.
Those phase shifters like they are using even when sized I per the rated amps still tend to shit the bed pretty regularly in my experience, been doing industrial electric for longer than I would care to admit and every time one of the factories I service tries to cheap out with one of these I've never seen it be reliable, IMO rotary phase converter is the only way to go unless you want to have 3-phase service installed
my favorite part is how certain Issac was that the lathe would work then cut to him being amazed that it did.
my favorite part is how many times we get taught how to install a sprocket correctly.
ive built zero go karts and really dont intend to but i know 10000% how the numbers have to be on the correct side
The jankyness and redneckery of the lathe is brilliant
Brilliantly dangerous....spend a couple shekels and get the correct motor and ditch the phase converter.
Yee Yee!! 😂😂
You should live around here ... that's just the tippy top of the iceberg
@@jacksonms212 bro I live in a wooded town in the middle of Maine I'm the definition of redneckery lol
It's why I come to this channel lol
"if you work for OSHA look away" got me lol, I am OSHA certified but I support this lol
Lol im 15 and im OSHA certified
I'm an ndt certified inspector, i support this message.
Issac cutting off that pipe for a brake drum is literally the epidomy of Cars & Cameras and I fing loved it.
When Ike's having fun you can't help but smile :)
It is so good to see the 3 stooges have reformed for all new performances, so John is Moe Charles is Curley I guess that leaves you Ike as Larry or shemp?

Isaac the daredevil the man is a legend when it comes to driving!!
That is by far the best thing you have ever made.
Best part of the day is watching you guys play.😅😂😮
Whole lotta DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME in this one
Love it 😂
i bought this old minibike, i dont know what it is and i need some info if you can help id love to find some info any way i could get photos to yall?
@@shaunzamenick5157 nope
When yall gonna make a jet engine from a car or truck turbo ..and take it to the strip ?
All I heard was hold my beer and watch this
This is one of my favorite builds. Perfect balance of looks, performance, and handling! And for god's sake, will you PLEASE turn up your wire feed speed!!! Watching you guys MIG literally makes my brain itch.
Hi! No welding experience here, looking to get a mig to start working on my own mini bike, why the faster wire speed? Educate me please.
@@3v068 as a inexperienced welder, I would guess having such a slow feed speed, would slow down the weld which could create too much heat in specific spots?
However...these guys are professional " gap " welders, as I am....sometimes a slower speed helps....
Your Pal BigBadBubbaBurns
Amen! It doesn't sound like a box of buzzing bees
A mig should sound like frying bacon.
Awesome idea useing that stair case pole for the brake drums that's get R done enginenewty right there keep it up guys 😁👍
This episode is very reminiscent of the backyard builds of the old school Cars and Cameras
Gotta say, those front brakes are pretty slick. Well done!
Dang, go Charles for carrying the show at the end there.
Those squarebody trucks at the car show was so beautiful on how clean and factory they were especially the white one
Ladies and gentlemen the world's first friction lawn mower. No more worrying about blades. Tire friction is the future of lawn care!!!
The perfect balance of savagery and engineering... pure brilliance
We need a cars and cameras+red beards garadge collab, that would be the coolest thing ever!!!❤
Staircase post drums.....freakin' brilliant!
Wound for Sound Charles makes another appearance!
This episode was a treat.
Awesome video! LOVE YOU UNCLE ISAAC!
You guys working on the lathe was too funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
The safety glasses hand-off while doing donuts was glorious. Well done boys
The new Land-borghini Zero Turn Sport Mower !
Luv the GS450 mower. One of your coolest builds! 👌👌
From a checkered floor to 1million subscribers is insane, you guys are killing it 🔥🤘🏻
bad assery. This one is the best
This is by far my favorite build of yours so far.
I was constantly checking to see if the post had come up last night. Worth the wait with another awesome episode of 'the mower'.
Love reading comments.
Please organize a few more race days on your backyard tracks with the Lads, as they're the vids I always go back to.
7:40 ingenuity at its finest
That's stupidly insane... I LOVE IT!
The brake set up is by far the best part of the video😂🤙🏼 awesome man
Great job cobbling the lathe back together guys…. Plug it into a power strip and you’ll have an ON/OFF switch. It’ll be fine!
love the small jokes and comments yall have when doin the work. feels like were right there with ya watching in amazement
Dude the doughnut glasses hand off. Was epic Charles!!!!
I received my shirt today and sticker absolutely love it thanks yall
love watchin yall, yall do the stuff me and my friends want to do
Sick lathe upgrade!

one of the very coolest builds u guys have done
I think this is my favorite project! And I have watched you guys since the beginning!!!!!
"Is this where we get yelled at by the machinist??" LOL!!! I'm a machinist and it cracked me up!!!!
I think we need to talk about how that post from the stairs was the perfect fit to build your brake drums.... That was incredible.
"Jibbly bits" and a Clark Griswold reference. My new favorite episode of C&C.
Love the other end of steering shaft
Great job getting the drums built for the brakes.

Good improvising with your lathe too.
Always enjoy your video’s.
favorite kind of videos from cc
Awesome Build! Can't wait to see more of the cummins kart
This build is awsome! That thing is quick!
great stuff guys thanks

A little advice from a machinist, buy a set of transfer punches, they are an absolute blessing when you need to have your holes in the correct spot.

Ike woke up this morning, & chose violence. That yard got absolutely shredded.
On your phase converter, always get one that is double what the machine’s amp rating is. It’ll keep you from burning them up.
