VFD Question

February 4th, 2009

They All Look Alike

Okay, tool people. I have lost my mind again. Even if I can’t make the wooden frame work, I am determined to build a belt grinder with a 2 HP motor and VFD. If for some reason I fail, I should be able to put the motor on my bandsaw, which would be highly amusing.

Tell me if this VFD will do the job: LINK. I want good torque at low speeds.

There are a whole bunch of TEFC Baldor 2 HP 3-phase 220V 1740-RPM motors on Ebay for a hundred bucks or so. They all look exactly alike, but I figure any one of them ought to work, as long as it doesn’t have a weird shaft or anything.
