Hey everyone!
I finally got a lathe and a mill for my home shop and I bought VFD's to use them on 220 1ph. The mill I believe is more straight forward since it's just forward and reverse and the switch for it is easily accessed. I'm unsure of how to approach the lathe though. It's got a foot brake (brake is mechanical), forward, reverse, on, and off switches. I've not been able to find diagrams for this and I don't have (nor can I find) a manual for this lathe. Does anyone have any ideas or can you point me in the right direction. I'd like to simply use the lathe as though it was hooked to 3 ph power. I am not concerned with variable speeds or anything. I just want to use the functions of the lathe as they were originally designed.
Thanks in advance for the help!
