Hi first post in this forum,
I have a 40 year old Taiwan A1S mill sold as a Select model ‘1/2V‘ 7x30 1HP knee mill. Have a thread going on over here:
https://www.hobby-machinist.com/threads/my-new-select-1-2v-milling-machine.91514/
l have started milling with this mill and notice some big gaps in the speed ranges. Was planning to convert to VFD down the road but now starting to collect parts for the conversion. Looking at using Baldor 1.5 HP IDNM inverter motor. Not sure on which VFD to use yet.
Posted in this forum since Grizzly has currently sells the largest volume of these A1S style knee mills. Looking for some feedback from users who converted their mill to VFD. Also interested in any DRO comments. Will be doing this Yuriy’s TouchDRO since already using the TouchDRO on my lathe.
Thank,
Bob G.
