Now this 3 phase mill can run from single phase (regular 220v plug),
it stops in 0.5 seconds thanks to electric braking, and it also
reverses, which is something it was not capable of before.

In addition to the old gearbox speed changer, speed can also be varied
with a pot (0-60 Hz).

All of the above make this machine more desirable.

Seriously big pending ****up. That VFD needs to go on the BACKSIDE of
the mill column.

You are going to get chips down into the top of it in its present
location and all the magic smoke is going to come out of it.

At the very very least..put a horizontal thin plate aprox 1" above the
upper vent grid to protect it from **** going down the grid.

Trust me on this. It WILL happen.
