I am thinking of swapping out a single phase motor for a 1.5hp 3 phase motor controlled with a vfd.
Why? Because the brand new motor produces a lot of vibration on my drill press (and lathe) that I would like to remove.
I had the motor replaced under warranty but its still the same.
Its not in any of the pulleys as I removed everything off the motor and it still vibrates things off the table.
What I want to know is:-
Will a 3 phase motor run smoother?
Whats best 2, 4, or 6 pole motor?
Does the number of poles relate to total speed?
Does the number of poles have a bearing upon torque?
Probably more questions but I havnt thought of them yet.
Thanks
