Im super excited! This lathe was going to the scrap yard. I paid 445.00 for it. 55.00 for a Uhaul trailer to haul it home! I think its a DA 220? What a beautiful machine. Probably from the 70s or 80s.
I need help with two things:
1. Does anyone have manuals for the square bodied Voest Lathes?
2. What is the best way to power the three phase motor at home? The motor is 3.6 kw. It is currently wired for 440 three phase. I want to wire it to 220 three phase and then power it by single phase 220. Ive heard VFD is the best way. What size VFD? They say to use double the horse and amp VFD that the motor is rated for? Any help is appreciated. Cant wait to get this beauty running.
Im trying to figure out how to get pics on there.
Thanks.
