My new/used Emco V13 lathe will be here next Monday.
Page Title
Also have Teco n3-203-cs VFD coming so I can convert single phase to 3 phase.

The basic wiring of the main power is simple but my quesition is with regards to the existing switches on the machine and if they need to be rewired into the VFD?
I would prefer the least wiring as possible but want to be able to take advantage of the variable speeds that the VFD will provide.
My guess is that there the following controls on the lathe
1- on/off
2- high speed/low speed - it is a 2 speed motor
3- Forward/reverse, I think but am not sure.
I am wondering if anyone has experience wiring on of these. It looks like there are a lot of programing options. Way more than I feel I will need.
Thanks
Greg
