Feeler FTL 618 Lathe

[bikepete]

Nice lathe. If the motor is 2 speed that may complicate...

Several single phase conversions have been written up over at the Hardinge forum on Practical Machinist BTW, may take some searching to find them though.

Have a look at the end of my Hardinge rebuild thread. I've posted diagrams of the VFD speed switch etc.

Do you have a dual voltage motor? My HLV did not, so I had to use a step-up transformer and a 415v VFD.

Oh and post pictures or else.... ;)
