Horse Power Requirements For 6X26 Mill

Please let us know how it goes..

The original BP mills, I have an M head, were 1/2 Hp.

I also have an 12x industrial lathe I refit with an ac servo drive of 2.5 kW cont. vs 1.5 kW std power on 220V.
This was excellent.

I suspect most mills will not benefit from more power.
 
Z2V, I've perused their website many times. They appear to be a big operation, so I'm surprised as well.

The auction is live again (click link above). Shows 6 available again but the price is $626.32 plus shipping. They're listed on their website for $160 plus shipping.

Hanermo2, you're probably right, but I'd like to have the power anyway. You don't have to use it if you don't need it.

It turns out didn't complete the 3HP VFD purchase. I thought I had but I got an email prompting me to complete it. So I saved$50 buying a 2HP VFD and this 2HP 1800RPM Siemens: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A8FR4XS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

A little more than I wanted to spend, but at least I'm done with it and I don't have to worry about any funny business with Amazon.
