I got the vfd and motor on my lathe today, it works but I haven't got the vfd programed as yet. If it works out I will hook up a remote for better access when the head is rotated. May change location of vfd, just wanted to get it up and running and out of harms way. I think one of the pictures shows my remote box with no switches installed on the side of the bed. I am trying a couple of different strength magnets.
The motor is 2hp 3phase 230v. Runs real smooth, very little noise.
