Boxford tlc 160 motor

[Gerard]

I am currently bringing to life my boxford lathe and going to put in a Yaskawa J1000 VFD now I am looking for a dual voltage motor but don't want to spend much... I am from Yorkshire by the way so not too expensive

That was a long time ago . I replaced the motor with a flange mounted 3 phase 1.5 kw motor mounted on the rear of the cabinet. I then fitted the VFD inside the cabinet. The motor drove only one pulley and had enough power to do all speeds necessary. I have since done 4 like this and all sold no problem .Works much better than Boxford's effort.

Did you manufacture the mounting yourself?
