Axminster AWVSL lathe

(1/2) > >>

John:
Can anyone help or advise please.
I have an Axminster AWVSL lathe, the machine works fine, but my neighbour is complaining about TV interference from it.
I have spoken to Axminster but they are unable to help, their suggestion is to use a ferrous ring on the mains cable.
Has anybody else any idea's please.

John

Richard Stapley:
John does your Lathe have an Inverter fitted?  it is known that Inverters can create EMI [Electromagnetic Interferance] and that the solution is to use a Filter.

If you Google "Inverter Filters" you should get some information and advise typically www.inverterdrive.com

Hope this Helps

Hi Richard,
The AWVSL has a DC motor and speed control unit, I assume it uses brushes, this could be a problem, I am going to get a ferrous ring the afternoon.

Andy Coates:
You need an RF filter (ferrous ring with a coil around it) it may need to be on your lathe or else more likely on the power supply of the affected TV. If the later I suppose it would be neighbourly for you to purchase it for them. Should be no more than £10-£20.

John:
Thanks Andy,
I have a Maplins just down the road, I will buy a filter on Wednesday.
