Well the mill is up and running. The VFD was just as easy as wiring 110 v to anything. Love the ramp up to speed and ramp down to stop, forward to reverse without stopping first. And the variable speed make me feel like a real machine working. No belt, no wrench nothing to do but push a button...

Terry Very nice and looks like completion is in sight. You have done an amazing job and you documentation is super. I enjoy seeing the different ways you use to complete a part, never thought about epoxy. It is always nice to have the tool in your box for the job at hand. Thank you and much...

Don You can put the degree mark after the number just by holding the "alt" button down and type 248 on the keyboard, let go of "alt" key and wallah, the degree mark. ° Nelson

Well I bought one from China and I am thrilled with it. The read out on the front panel goes from 0 to 400, Before I started it I dropped it to 50, that was not bad, I need to map it so I know what it is doing. This unit will go from forward to reverse and back. Ramps down then reverses and...

Marcus I have thought about that and yes I'm going to have a fan run through the VFD. Thanks Nelson

Niels I am going to use the 3 phase side to do my reversing, just swap two wires and done. I will be using a regular forward off reverse switch. Thanks for all you do. Nelson

I might be wrong but the blue that Chris (Clickspring) get on his parts is just surface and very easily removed. Just too much handling will start to thinnen the blue surface. One of his vidoes show it well, the video of the click spring. If you watch the click, you will see the surface that...

Evan I must agree we can not let a little pain stop us. I received my disability from Social Security in 2012 and spent a lot of years in bed but recently I have said enough. I once planted a garden over 1/4 acre. Well this year I will try to plant and take care of it. Putting seed in the...
