Thanks for the great information, chaps! I'd like to increase the maximum speed slightly to around 2500RPM - 3000RPM for the occasional times that I'm using smaller cutters in the region of 3mm diameter. I was thinking of using a 2-pole motor and reducing the frequency rather than over speeding a 4-pole. Will overheating be a problem if I run the 4-pole faster?
John, I think you're right regarding the 1.5kW frame size. There's about 60mm clearance to the back of the swivel head, and about 95mm to the Z dovetails. It sounds like you know these machines well - is the internal gearbox all metal gears or are there more crappy plastic things inside there?
Do you guys have any recommendations for motor suppliers?Last edited by birchy; 20-05-2013 at 06:07 PM. Reason: bad pole count!
