So i will start off by saying this, i am a machining beginner, and have dabbled with it for the past 13 years, but never had a machine of my own. I recently purchased this series II bridgeport from my work. I dont have 3 phase power, and had intended on running the machine with a VFD, i was able to locate one rated for the amperage i need. However i got to wondering how that would all work with the power feeds etc being all integral to the machine. Will they all work? I assume i will have to leave the VFD at 100%, which isnt a big deal since the variable speed works fine on the mill. Am i missing something here, or should i have gone with a rotary phase converter instead? Here are some pics of the machine for reference.
