Hi all,
I have a CNC'ed HF geared-head mill, which has a 110VAC 1-phase motor (1.5hp). It apparently generates 1750 rpm at the motor shaft and is geared down to 6 speeds from 95 to 1500rpm. Is there an easy way to increast this to about 3000 rpm?
I've heard of VFD's and spindle speeders, but so far haven't found a 110VAC 1-phase in 1-phase out VFD that handles 1.5hp, and spindle speeders are quite expensive (if they even fit on my mill).
Is it a bad idea to flip around some gears in the head (if that's even possible)?
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
-Neil.
