I'm new to this site, and machining, and have some questions. I picked up a Bridgeport mill a couple of weeks ago. It has a 1 1/2hp 2J variable speed head. The data plate on the head says 200/400V 5.2 5.1/2.6 amps. 50/60hz. 1430-1700rpm. The shop I am putting it in has 240 3ph power. I am wondering if this motor will work as is, or if I will need a buck/boost transformer to operate it. The coil in the control box is an Allen-Bradley 208 3ph, (71a113). If I am able to run the motor on 240, will I have to change this coil? Right now, the motor is wired in a wye configuration for low voltage. The machine is a '75 according to the serial number. Thanks for any help you guys can give.
