Went the lazy route. Mounted the VFD on the wall next to the Bridgeport.
Direct wired the Bridgeport motor to the VFD and wired one section of
the original Bridgeport control switch to the VFD control for F-O-R.
Speed control if I want something other than regular 60HZ I'll just
enter it on the VFD panel. Works nicely though and a lot quieter than
the old rotary convertor.

I suspect tapping is going to be a lot more fun with this set up. I'm sure my 5hp
rotophase will never die since it would give me an excuse for going to nice and quiet VFD.
