I picked up the Leeson 3 phase motor and got it hooked up to a HuanYang VFD. The VFD was not hard to hook up and does a nice job of controlling the motor. However, I have not yet finished hooking it up to the mill.

I got a belt drive from Benchtop Precision made for this motor. There are some really nice features with this drive, like the ability to keep the quill working. I got one of the first mounting plates so there are a few things that need attention but I am looking forward to having this setup on my machine.
