I need help, at 75 I'm getting stupid . It's pretty frustrating, but what can you do, the other option is looking at grass from the root side. chuckle. When I retired 10 years ago I bought a used lathe, a DF1224g. Without a lathe and welder , a workshop is naked. The electrics were toast, they were running the motor off a cheap toggle switch. I replaced the belts and bearing, as I'm a retired millwright, so that was no big deal. And to deal with the sketchy electrics, a VFD was called for. I got a 2hp 3ph Baldor and the Hitachi WJ200-015SF . I was able to power up, but I was only running the lathe from the VFD control panel .
With the switch wired in I'm only getting a slow creep in forward or reverse. I'm using a drum switch for FOR, OFF, REV . The VFD isn't happy, the fan stays on after a test. . A wild guess from non computer old guy, the programing for the Pot and minimum and maximum isn't correct. THX
When finished I would like to have E-Stop, forward, off, reverse, jog forward, jog reverse . But for now I would be happy with having it run, forward/off/ reverse. I have to make a part.
