VFD vs 240 single - Hercus 260 options
Hey folks.
So I have my lovely Hercus 260 ATM home. But I have a 240v single phase home, not a 3 phase home.
I'm leaning towards a cheapo Huanyang VFD to fire up the lathe. I have a couple of brothers, one a qualified elekchicken, the other an electronics (BAE Systems) whizz, to help me work things out. So the VFD seems like the way to go.
Of course, you can buy 240v single phase motors, but I'm concerned about different shaft sizes/lengths and hacking the hole spacings on the lathe about.
Have searched around here for awhile but haven't seen any definitive answers. Would love to see some opinions and arguments for and against either method.
Cheers,
Moz
