Hi all
Still putting together my CNC conversion to my HOBBYMAT BFE 65 Milling machine. While measuring up for the motor mounts today, i asked myself a question i cannot answer myself, so here go's.
1) I have read that you can retro fit a DC motor and Controller reasonably easy to a Hobby mill,this gives you a variable speed from 0 to whatever RPM, i also read that some people don't like it, for technical reasons.
2) Some people prefer an AC motor controlled by a VFD, but i have read these are for 3 phase motors only ? does this mean i cannot do this in a domestic environment due to only having a single phase 240 volt supply?
Does anyone have any info on this, or know were i can get the info, bearing in mind i am a simple Tool maker not an electrical engineer.
Regards
Ray
