Recommend VFD for hobby BP mill

flip · Aug 25, 2009

I've tried and I stress tried to figure out which VFD I need for my BP mill. Use will be hobby, maybe a few times a week so no industial strength is required. Just want a simple functional VFD. No technical overload please, I have not started drinking yet.

Mill is a 9X42 1 hp. TIA

Just want a simple functional VFD

Depending on your machine, the motor may be 1.0 hp, 1.5 hp or 2.0 hp, so you want to buy a drive sized for that particular motor. The TECO JNEV model would work well & costs little.

For 1 hp: http://dealerselectric.com/item.asp?PID=417

For 1.5 hp or 2.0 hp: http://dealerselectric.com/item.asp?PID=394

I have had good luck with Teco as well.

Thanks for the link. While that was what I was thinking, the threads I was reading got way too in the technical aspect for me to understand if it was good or just ok.
