Today in my multi travels, I had to go look at some boat related items at a local salvage yard. While at the salvage place, talking to the yard super, he mentioned a huge lot of Sumitomo VFD's. Now initially he was high on his pricing, and I was hesitant. But then he started the roll " what would you give?" He proceeded to show me pallets of these things. They were destined for an elevator company that does retrofits and such, and they ended up with them.
Here is the link to one of the models

Now the twenty dollar question. Would these be suitable for uses on milling machines, lathes, and other 3 phase products? I have read some great reviews on the other sumitomo vfds, and wonder about these, since they are a better model than what I have researched.
I think I could get these at a really fair price. He looked serious on getting rid of some. Let me know an opinion on these things.
