Hi guy's .Picked up this mill cheap,but there was no control panel .The motor is rated 15-30 hp, rpm 3600-7200.Am i too asume that the voltage controls the rpms?.Also,will a vfd get me down into the100-200 rpm range and still have enough torque to run 2" end mills?The other idea was just to replace the head with a geared one like a rambauldi.
 
All the HS machines are high speed mills intended for light metals. There are only two speeds, fast and faster. :) Speed changes by dropping out two poles in motor windings.

No 18:1 VFDs I'll bet - if there were, there would be very little of the 15 HP left.

yup
i'm gonna hafta get on john's bus once again

15hp is a fairly pricey vfd
might be cheaper to find a differant motor
something gear reduced off an old press or the like
