I have a Bridgeport Series II Special with Rockford motor controls coming in the morning to my garage. I have 240 2 phase, but the mill takes 3 phase. It is a standard 2J 2 hp head on the mill, but the Rockford controls I don't know about.
Can I use a static converter with this setup or would a vfd be better? The unit has a Variable speed head, so I don't need the vfd to handle that, but if I understand correctly, the VFD will run at full power and the static at less than full power. Is that right?
I'd like to keep it as simple and inexpensive as possible, but then again, that is rarely the case in life.......
