hi guys
i need some help choosing a vfd for my g0602 lathe .
to start lets keep in mind i am fairly ignorant when it comes to electronics and wiring in general so i might not understand a lot of the technical jargon . but i do learn quickly and i can follow directions and schematics easily
i do however have a basic plan and know pretty much the basic features i want .
i have not picked up a motor yet , but i do live in the land of plenty when it comes to used commercial quality 220v 3phase motors , my plan is to use a 1hp nema 56 or nema 66 frame size motor , either of witch is easily adaptable to my lathe and easily found .
i have both 220 and 110 v power available , with my preference going to being able to use 220v just because i happen to have plenty of spare 220v breakers handy
the features i know i want .... variable speed of course , the ability to program soft starts and stops and dynamic braking . the ability to add separate programs for a possible second machine in the future would be nice as well but is not a priority
my ignorance may show here , but i also would like to be able to mount the vfd about 10 ft away from the lathe and be able to add a speed control pot directly on my lathe .
there .. i dont think i am asking for too much , throw some ideas at me .
