I did a bandsaw conversion a couple of years ago, yeah you cannot get there with by VFD alone, gear/pulley reduction will be necessary.
Bandsaw speed reducer build.
Hi All, I recently picked up a nice mid 50's vintage, Boice Crane, 14" vertical bandsaw. It has a three phase motor so I figured I'd simply throw a VFD on it and be able to get down to metal cutting speeds, wrong!... The motor is rated at 1150 rpm and running it at 15hz only gets the blade down...
