[SEL] Shearing plant questions/answers please

[Jim Bethell]

Peter,
RA Lister manual states handpiece, 3300 RPM, Grinder, 2600 RPM> All 
different makers plant should run at the same speed as handpieces are 
interchangable, even today.
The common practice is to place your handpiece on its side on the ground 
when attached to the downtube, the short tube should be at a slight angle 
when handpiece attached ( up to approx 120 deg).
regards
Jim
