I hope to be getting a Grizzly square column mill here before too long, and it has a three phase motor, which will necessitate me getting a VFD for it since I have 110/220 single phase. I'll be getting a HF 4x6 bandsaw about the same time, and it dawned on me that having it variable speed might be nice, providing the original POS motor gets replaced. Can someone tell me what frame size I should be keeping an eye out for to replace the HF motor with? Is there any value in having variable speed on that saw?
