I've dug through a bunch of the posts here but not found what I'm looking for.
I'm finally getting the VFD set up on my mill, seems to be going well so far. One thing I'm not clear on is setting the frequency range for this use.
Clausing 8520, so belt drive, with pulleys used to adjust speed, 3 front, 3 back, so 9 speeds? VFD will be used to provide variable speed within those speed ranges.
3/4hp 230v 3 phase Dayton motor
Fuji Frenic Mini 2HP VFD FRN0010C2S-7U
Frequency is controlled through a potentiometer with a default of 0-60Hz. It looks like it can be set to run up to 400Hz (assuming that would be great for making smoke with my mill).
So my actual question:
What would a typical range be on a milling machine? Will too low of Hz hurt anything or just reduce power?
The manual is about 1/2" thick so a bit overwhelming taken as a whole, but the actual instructions are not too bad once I figure out which bits apply to me.
