Got a jet IBG 8” VS grinder. Uses a VFD to change speeds and electric breaking. I thought it was broken but discovered that VFD‘s don’t play nice with GFCI receptacles. The machine trips the receptacle every time. Plugged it into a non-GFCI and it seems to work fine other than some wobble on one of the wheels. My question is this: if I simply replace a couple receptacles as non-GFCI will I still have a problem if several other receptacles on the same circuit ARE GFCI? The circuit breaker in the box itself appears to be a regular breaker not a GFCI.
Because I thought the grinder itself had a problem I have another one being sent and itÂ’s too late to stop. It is a bit of wobble evident in a factory supplied grinding wheel pretty normal or might I have an actual problem with the grinder itself. I do plan to replace the wheels with much finer higher quality oxide wheels for my turning tools or maybe even CBN wheels.
IÂ’m thinking of comparing the two grinders side-by-side when I get the new one but at 70 pounds itÂ’s a bit of work. What do you guys think? Thanks
