110V 3 phase is unusual. I'd guess that to run it from 110/120V, you would run it in delta. Wye would then be for 208V (much more common in 3-phase.)
Odd that there are fields on the motor nameplate for frequency range, etc. but no numbers. I'd guess that indicates it's meant for 60 Hz only. It's fan cooled I assume?
Double post
My guess is the thin belt width (9/16") and gears are the limitations on motors horsepower sizing.
I will see if i can find some gears that will support a wider belt and then think about upgrading the motor.
Yes. My vfd came in yesterday, i just got it wired and programmed up the vfd.
It works good. I took a few thou off my old vise jaw to clean it up . The lengh of cut was 1" on a 1/2" endmill in jog mode. No issues..
The finish looks good. This seems to work sweet so far!
The only issue i had with the spindle is when i flipped the motor to the topside, the belt was misaligned and had to shim the spindle gear up a bit. Easy fix.
I also had to take an die grinder and open up the casting around the bolt holes. Also pretty easy.

I flat topped a stainless steel slide like butter. I think it has plenty of power for my needs.
I have no complaints about the finish either. Amazing for ebay parts and scrap steel!
I see and hear no chatter.
Thanks for all the help in here.
After rebuilding my z axis plate, i now have room for both spindles.
Spindle is still working well.

2" facemill with 4 flutes testing on aluminum. My max cut is about .015" before spindle runs out of muscle.
Pretty happy with the finish.
Thanks! Yes it was cheap. The casting holes needed reworked, the belt gears were not aligned well and needed reworked, and its a an odd 110v/ 3phase motor but im really happy with performance even being underpowered.
Also very impressed with my axis motors that were reccomended here. Very fast and strong.
