I wired the VFD to the lathe. Not in the best way yet, but enough to

and 3.7 kW)

The first of those VFDs is doing nicely on my Bridgeport.

That's very nice to hear. I am delighted.

The second, along with the 3HP motor from my former RPC is looking
like it will end up replacing the aged 1/2HP motor with failing
starting cap on my lathe. I really need to find a bigger lathe
too...

3 HP motor to replace a 1/2 HP motor???

By the way, starting caps cost relatively little.
