Hello, I just picked up a Clausing Colchester 13" lathe. It has a 2 speed 3hp 3 phase motor and I only have single phase in my shop. I have been looking into RPC and SPC and I like the idea of a VFD the best. What I have found online mostly here is it's hard to run a two speed motor with a VFD. I want to be able to use the controls on the lathe. I found a video on YouTube of a guy using a Hitachi NES1 with the same lathe but he doesn't really say how he wired did it or the model he is using.

I found Hitachi NES1-022SB has a amp output of 10A and the motor on my lathe requires 8.3A but my bigest question can I just wire it up normal and the speed/on/off controls on the lathe will work.
The second one I found is the Teco L510-203-H1-U 230V single phase in 3 phase out model. I read that this is sensor-less and that could be needed?
Thanks for any info
