The ¡°best¡±? ?The latest electric code (here in the US, the NEC) has taken all the fun out of this. ?All new service entrance panels are required to have ¡°Whole House¡± surge protection. ?This only applies to newly installed panels in new construction or retrofit. ?But if you are going to worry about protecting stuff, you might as well just do it once
These devices are easy to install into an old panel and because they are required, they are available ¡°everywhere¡±. ? ?Just put one of these in and be done with it and it will cover your TV, computer, power tools, car charger, and whatever.
There are two basic kinds, one snaps in like a larger size 220 volt circuit breaker and the other screws into a knockout.
OK, but you really wanted a AC-DC-AC system. ?You might be in luck because that is how all brushless motors work. ? There is one of those inside the lathe already if you have a brushless motor
But if I am not mistaken, I think all mini lathes use PWM to control the motor. ?If so, then you already have a kind of AC-DC-AC system in from of the lathe's motor.

Use one for TV or computer.?
I like switching off the power too.
Lighting , power surge and solar storms can take out electronics.
A solar storm in 1859 took out telegraph stations this before electronics.?

Re: Mini Lathe and Northern Lights
The Carrington event was a huge storm.? Estimates vary on the X
class flare for that event. Some estimate it was an X20.? Some argue
the storm in 1921 was larger. By comparison the recent flare which
created the huge geomagnetic storm was X 5.8, I think.? A few days
later there was an X 8.8 flare that wasn't directed towards Earth.?
There has been larger flares in the past that weren't directed
towards Earth.? Another solar flare like the one during the
Carrington event would likely destroy most all solid state devices
and create mass chaos since we are so dependent on tech nowadays.?
Vacuum tube equipment would survive though.? Yeah, we are way off
topic.
Stan, an amateur radio operator in TN.? Yeah, I have some vacuum
tube equipment :)

No, it wouldn't stop them but it would let authorities know who the terrorists were. (Or at least the dumber ones. The smarter terrorists would have forged IDs).

There is also?E word too.?
Never ever use around the aircraft industry.? Even in a joke you having doughnut and coffee with police hope to go home in under 30 years to run mini lathe.?
It something that most will never think of till to late.?
Back 1970's a guy going to his father's funeral joke to the flight attended about briefcase with magazines. He quickly removed from aircraft soent hours have doughnut and coffee. After he need a new briefcase mist his father's funeral.?
He lucky today they do not take a joke.

Re: Words you can no longer use at FedEx shipping mini lathe parts
Not stop directly, but provide a definite link back to the sender if anything bad happens, be it a terrorist attack, accidental aircraft fire because of non-declared hazmat, or just spillage or damage.? If someone is sending something by mail/parcel they are clearly trying to avoid being caught, as opposed to a suicide bomber.
Ted Kazcynski mailed his bombs in packages covered in stamps and dropped off in the blue boxes.? That's why you can't send anything more than 12 ounces except in person or with electronic (traceable) postage.

Re: Mini Lathe and Northern Lights
Here in NE TN I saw a bright purple patch through a tiny hole in the clouds but the rest of the time it either too cloudy or nothing to see. There are mor bigger sun spots developing but they dont think the solar wind will hit Earth. I drove 17 miles up into Virginia but still saw nothing even with long exposurtes.

Lathe: 1955 Boxford Model A with screw cutting gearbox, power feed with several accessories, hand tools and a pillar drill press.
Try my Free Online Gear train Software:
You enter a thread pitch or TPI and it shows you a range of gear trains and gearbox setting to use and even a scale drawing of the gear train.
It also includes calculations for taper turning by the tailstock offset method, and cutting speeds.
It includes the specifications for many thread types eg metric, UNC, BSW, and BA.
Displays drill sizes for tapping threads at any percent thread depth (with full explanations).
