Hello,
I'm trying to decide between replacing the motor on a Harrison Union Graduate Lathe with another 1 phase motor, or if it is worth doing the more expensive option of a kit containing a 3 phase motor, inverter and replacement control panel.
I think there are a number of advantages to to the 3 phase option and I need to stop/start the lathe very often, so I think this might be more suited to 3 phase?
I'm interested to know if people have done this, do they think it was worth spending the extra?
I'm particularly interested in whether anyone has noticed much of a decrease in chattering when switching to 3 phase motor?
Many thanks,
Rowan
