Nice video. I'm picking up a 3-phase bandsaw next weekend and watched the video to see the installation of the VFD but it was nice to see the old mill working as well. I have an electrical engineer friend from work who will do the actual installation while I hand him tools...just wanted to see all that goes into it. cheers...John
Enjoyed the video. Recently purchased a Bridgeport Series I and looking on how to get it wired through a VFD. I have 220 single phase input looking for 230 3 phase output. Was looking at that exact same model of VFD. I didn't realize all those settings can be customized. Thanks for the quick overview. Hoping manual is easy to understand all those settings and is not hard to customize.
Hey man good info on the VFD. Didn't realize there was that many parameters to set one up. Good to see that one can retain the original for/rev switch on the head. Just becomes a contactor basically and doesn't carry the motor current.. Good deal. Good luck with the Bridgie. I volunteered to VFD a Beaver British made mill for a friend. Wish me luck!
hey man nice info>> I just picked up a three hp acer mill I want to use a vfd as well I was thinking of leaving the vfd acessable maybe so I can use the adjustable rpm on the controller on the regular I"ll look into the vfd your using and check my motor spec plate and go from there
@@Oldsmob455 Iwas just watching a video on a motor guy saying to check with the manufacture to make sure the motor is inverter capable even though if will spin the motor over time it can heat up the windings and differnt problems can occur I"ll call acer and check and see if my motor will accept a vfd
