Jeffwood 702 Thicknesser

Hi all,

I have been given a Jeffwood 702 Thicknesser from my father-in-law. It has a 3 phase motor.

I don't have 3 phase in my workshop so would need to upgrade my power supply which I know will be relatively expensive.

The unit appears to be in quite good condition.

Does anyone know what this would be worth?

Thanks for any advice.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e1add4a86c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...12c0833c69.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...94eda1eabe.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3180510fd3.jpg

Can it be run from a VFD? If so, you wouldn't need to move it on.

See if the motor has a wiring plate on it, and post up a good, clear picture of that. There are folks here who know a lot more than I do on this, and could probably tell whether a VFD can be used on it or not.

Thanks for your reply.

I know nothing about VFD's.

This is the only other photo I have until I can get back to his house. Any use?

Does a VFD convert back to single phase?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2ef68d2fca.jpg

Update.

I have spent the week researching all things VFD's and now understand what they are all about. So please disregard my previous questions about their purpose.

I think a VFD is definitely the way to go however I haven't yet been able to get back to the machine to take photos of the motor wiring set-up and post them on here.
Acknowledging I haven’t been able to post the photos, are any of the VFD experts here able to point out any obvious roadblocks that I should be aware of that would exclude a motor from being compatible with using a VFD?

The reason I ask is because I do not want to go to the trouble and expense of moving the machine to my house if it will not work with a VFD.

I will still get those photos when I can.

Thanks all for any advice.

Try here.

UPDATE # 2

Here are the photos of the motor wiring plate and wiring box.

Since my first post I've also had a 3PH jointer offered to me and I've included photos of that as well. (The firsr 2 pics are the thicknesser and the 2nd two are the jointer)

Cheers for any advice guys.
