    No... but I just got an email from Wilton today asking me to confirm a dimension on the jaws.

    I wasn't sure what year it was and was hoping to narrow it down for sure. I think you nailed the year. Thanks!
  3. General Metalworking Vise ID help - older Wilton 746 (and resto pics!)

    Been doing a restoration on an older Wilton 746 "made in USA". The newer ones are made in China, and the parts don't fit. 5/8 holdowns on this one vs the 1/2 inch on the newer offshore versions.

    If that's a limitation on the FM50, totally understand your point. I'm a bit surprised by that I thought that even the really cheapo huangyan units had...

    VFD can't manufacture higher voltage than the supply side provides, but it can reduce voltage. You should be fine if you set the VFD to match the motor plate (208V, etc).

    Although I don't have...

    Here we go... all I have is the large nut and the 1/2" router bit adapter, shown both in an out. I took a picture with a measure, but can put a mic on it of course.

    3-15, 3-16, 3-17 all at defaults.

    If I run in HAND mode the variable speed knob works great. I have to have it in AUTO mode for the external switch to work.
    This is consistent with the docs.

    Switch 4 is off. Parameter 6-19 is set to 0 (voltage mode).
    Changing nothing else, connecting 53 to 50 or 53 to 55 do nothing... still runs at 5hz.

    I have 10V between 50 and 55.

    Ok, so I got it working, but I'm not sure exactly why. Some experimentation got me a solution.

    First of all, DIP 2 must be ON, or the connecting 18 to 20 (GND) had no effect.

    I converted my bandsaw to 3PH even though it cost me another VFD. One of the reasons is motor braking.

    Yet another VFD control question GE AF60-LP

    I'm using VFDs, but there is no way I'd try to use one to run different motors... you have to set them up per-motor.
    On the other hand, some of the VFDs are pretty cheap.
