Re: anyone in Qld got a metal lathe?

Hey AM am trying to cut the bottom off my old machines basket, the side with the 1 hole in it. To convert it into an non-pressurized basket. Any other ideas on how to do it?? One of the other guys has done it before.

You can use a drill to make it bigger... It does not have to be the whole basket....


In the older SB PB I used a drill and made 6 in a circle and the one in the middle... You do not have to open them op that much...


If your into the maths.. The standard hole is 0.7mm If you make a 6 or more at 1 or 2mm , remembering boils law... You will understand that there will be no back pressure any more :-)


It is just that it looks cleaner with teh whole bottom removed... And if ya go Naked...

Re: anyone in Qld got a metal lathe?

So AM in ur opinion would drilling holes be better than cutting the whole bottom out?? Does this still give it back pressure which in needed??

Thanks again AM. One if these days we need to catch up for a coffee in person!! I owe u one ;D

Re: anyone in Qld got a metal lathe?

???????? Huh

so is the drilled holes better than total removal of the bottom? Is giving it more back pressure better??

No back pressure at all.. Same as a normal non pressurised single floor one...

You should have had two normal and two pressurised... With teh EM6910..

The pressurised ones are used as screw holders or small ash trays by me..  

The non pressurised ones = single floor is the only way to go.

lve the pressurized basket - this my old machine is a 4800 not a 6910 so unfortunatley it as u know only comes with pressurized basket.

No matter... Drill a few holes in the bottom.. and your done... Will behave the same as single floor...
