Hello Guys,
I just received my PM1340 GT lathe two days ago. I ordered it with a 3 phase motor as per Matt's recommendation and after watching Mike's (zmotorsports) review on Youtube. I have the Hitachi WJ200-015SF VFD. I would like to configure my setup exactly as Mike did in his review, adding the speed pot and Jog forward / reverse function to the front panel of the lathe; however, I am not sure of any wiring configurations that would have to be made in the control panel. I know that I have to wire the VFD directly to the motor for power, but not sure about the low voltage modifications. I could use some help if one of you guys are willing to share a little information with me. In the review, it appeared that Mike basically kept all original components of the lathe and just added the F/R switch and speed pot. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Rick
