Old single phase motor isnt sounding too great and likes blowing the garage fuse.
Im convinced by the merits of the 3 phase conversion that lots of people have done.
Newton Tesla do a 1HP kit for the myford at £470
http://www.newton-tesla.co.uk/index....ry&path=74_143
However ive a few questions for people who have done a similar conversion or are "in the know".
Im happy to do any wiring so dont necessarily need "pre wired" kit, therefore is there a cheaper way to get same result?
Im hoping to have RPM cnc controlled, will the newton tesla kit allow this?
If not what kit/inverter should i be looking at?
Ive been on https://www.inverterdrive.com/ and based on their prices the Newton Tesla setup seems a litte steep, but i dont mind paying a premium for the convience if it will do what i want at a later date, i.e CNC controlllable spindle speed.
Ive tried to speek with Newton Tesla but the tech guys are real busy and i havent been able to get one on the phone.
I know the Myfords have a B56 mount but what is closest alternative, there is very little in that old mounting available and other motors are much cheaper.
Also has anyone converted there myford with Ballscrews? I havent been able to find any guides.
I have searched but may have missed, if this is answered somewhere else please shoot me a link.
Thanks Joe
