Hi
My back went out this week so I did not got a lot done,
But I did get a photo of the motor name plate. But the 2 speed motor is 440v, I can use a VFD, Variable Frequency Inverter Drive, but I will lose power & torque.
So I rang the shop I got my VFD from & had a chat, nice guy.
He offered me a 2.2 kw, 6 pole, 945 RPM Motor, the motor that was on the lathe was a 2 speed, 700/1410 RPM 4/8 pole.
The new motor is a type YD112 m frame, the shaft is the same size as the old one, It should be an easy change. Lol
With 8 gear changes I will get 36-1700 RPM & still have loads
Of power & torque, with a top speed of over 2000 RPM.
I will order the motor & any parts I need,next week.
Jeff
Ps
The 06 4 on the name plate, makes me think it is a 2005 Lathe ???
Thanks Jeff
