Hi all,
Got a Canadian-Taiwan mortiser (Craftex). It's a nice, heavy, well built machine but it runs 3450 RPM; too fast for my mortising. I assume I will loose torque when I reduce speed but is it safe to try it? I have a 26 amp router control that I would like to try if I will not fry the motor. Can you teach an old motor (2003) new tricks?
Is this machine a candidate for a VFD device? Can they be used on this 1 HP induction motor (110/220)? I know nothing about them except that they offer full torque at any speed (almost) and are not regularly given away.
Thanks,
Tim
