Good evening All
I have just bought a chipmaster to convert to cnc. The first challenge is the 1.5 hp 440v motor. I know I can rewire it for 240 and run off a vfd but I'm not sure it is worth the hassle and I'm looking for other options.

My goal is to cut accurate threads so I have been looking at a closed loop vector VFD for the spindle. Is this the best option or am I OTT?

Ive been out of it for a while so not sure of the latest tech. any suggestions welcome.

Thanks in advance
