Thanks for the description on contents, sounds good, I'll likely seek some of these out
Ah, forced (fan) cooling next upgrade then ?CitroJim wrote: ↑23 Dec 2023, 18:25 At that Matt but you know, even if you're like me and struggle with my own native language it's amazing how well you can read and understand technical French. I had a RT manual for the Xantia in French and I could always get the gist of it and as Pete says, it's very good with diagrams and pictures...
I got expelled from the French class but then I can't blame them as I could barely speak English fluently then, let alone any other language! In fact I couldn't until quite late in life actually. It's all a bit different now as you can't shut me up... Making up for lost time perhaps Now stick a microphone in front of me with a PA system attached and a gathering of people and I'm away... I simply love public speaking and I'm famous for it...
Back on topic... If there ever was a topic We had a sherdathon today and the shredder with the brass bearings broke - as expected - but the one with the Nylon-66 bearings did a sterling job. The one with the phosphor bronze bearing also stuck it out to the end...
Here's the proof
And one of the bearings, showing no wear
We did find the motors don't like continuous duty. They get very hot and loose power. They're fine once cooled down...
So now I'll make sets of Nylon-66 bearings for the other two...
The three shredders cost a tenner. I must have spent at least twice that on experimental bearing material
