In about a month from now I will be ordering a Grizzly G0509G 16-40 lathe. it has a 3 phase 2 speed motor.
3hp-4hp. I would like to put a Vfd on as a 3 phase convertor.
I called Grizzly and they can't tell me anything about a VFD. All they say is they recommend a 15hp rotary convertor. I really don't want to have a 15hp motor running in my shop all day.
I am currently using an MSC Vextrax 13-40 lathe. it is single phase , Taiwan lathe. It is a very good machine, and will be keeping it also.
in the past I had a Grizzly 4003. per gunsmith lathe. ser#124. It also served me well. I chambered over 600 rifle barrels with that machine. I wish I still had that lathe. I don't know if they cheapened up the newer models , but I never had a problem with finish or vibration with that machine .
Got carried away from my question. Is the G0509G VFD or static convertor compatable.
