Hello All,
I have a 1940’s 4 wire 110v Master gearhead motor driving my Burke #4 milling machine. The inspection plate identifies the motor only as 110v. Burke’s surviving literature also only identifies this series motor as a 110v motor.
It has four wires coming out of the case for power connection.
Any idea if this 4 wire motor is capable of being run with 220 volts??
If so, I would like to convert and add a VFD to lower the cutter speed hence use larger diameter cutters.
Thanks much for any input.
Glenn
