This short video shows the relocation of the Rotary Phase Converter from the workshop to a shed to reduce the noise when in use.

Hi Brian, the light is a good solution to your problem. A slightly more complicated alternative would be use a "delay off" relay in located the new wall mounted panel, you have plenty of room. That can break the stop circuit if you forget to turn it off, the timer could be triggered from the 110V lathe control circuit if you want to be fancy and have it run on a fixed time after the lathe has been in use, a bit like a bathroom fan speaking of which the fan is definitely a good idea I put a cooling fan into my rotary converter control box to get rid of any heat from the auto transformer Hope you are enjoying the Harrison, it is a luxury having a bit more room to swing than the Myford Kind regards Paul

Hi Paul, Thanks for the brilliant comment, it’s great that people like you and others can take the time to share their experience and knowledge, this is what KZbin is all about. I get what you’re saying with the off timer thing, I use something similar to stop my compressor coming on at night and pissing off my neighbours. I’ve spent enough time on this so will probably stay with the light for the moment but thanks again for the comment. Cheers Brian
