VFD

I've run both VFDs and Roto Phase set ups for my home shops. I preferred the Roto Phase set up based on an old 5 HP 3 phase motor feeding a small auxiliary 3 phase panel that I ran up to 8 machines; I believe I got closer to rated full power on my machines with the R P.

I‘ll just be running the lathe with this VFD. I want a mill so bad I could spit end mills but I just don’t have the space for one.

Unless I hit the lottery and build a bigger shop or I get rid of some of my hoard of CRAP. That hasn’t happened since 1979 so I don’t see it happening now.
