I acquired an old Lagun FU-2 mill some time back and it's eating up a big chunk of my shop. I would like to sell it but would prefer to test it to make sure it operates as expected.
The motor tag shows it is dual voltage rated for 220/440 vac. Current spec is 16.4.8.2 A. RPM is shown to be 1720. Strangely, it doesn't list the horsepower though some research tells me it is 7 or 7-1/2. Would think though this would also be a dual rating based on the input voltage.
What I need to determine is, for testing purposes, could I use my 3 hp rotary phase converter that puts out 220 and is rated rated for 15 amps? For reference, it is an older Anderson Converters unit.
I can't afford to blow the converter as I need it on a regular basis to run my vertical mill but since I will be only running the spindle and table drive motions of the big Lagun, I don't figure I would be using near the full potential of the motor.
Any input is appreciated.....
