Members writing in the Bridgeport and Hardinge Mills and Lathes forum suggested this forum for help in using a VFD for my 2hp Bridgeport mill. The consensus was that a VFD was better suited than a rotary phase converter. So, simply put which VFD should I buy for a 240VAC single phase power source? I have a large Oneway woodturning lathe that uses a VFD for its 3hp 3 phase motor. It's in an enclosure with power on/off push buttons on the outside. I would like to duplicate that setup if possible rather than leave the VFD exposed. My apologies if his sounds like a lazy request but my attempts at trying to find a VFD from online vendors met with questions I couldn't answer. Also, will a VFD allow me to use the existing Hi Lo switch on the mill to start and stop it?
