Hello-
First time poster here.
Just got an ENCO geared head (308-0233) lathe, and plan to install a VFD to run spindle--no problem with that. A minor issue is the coolant pump, which runs a small 3 phase motor. I have two choices--either replace this pump with a single phase unit, or get a real cheap single to 3 phase converter to do it. Isn't there a simple capacitor only conversion out there for this? If so, is there a reference on-line that could assist with this?
Thanks!
Tim
