VFD problems ?

Jake....if you get really really stuck..and cant go any farther..Ill take a run down there some evening during the week and give you a hand. Might cost you a Jack in the Box burger and $20 or so for gas though..shrug. I work a lot in Orange Country and its about what...90 miles each way from Ontario?

"The entire population of Great Britain has been declared insane by their government. It is believed that should any one of them come in possession of a firearm, he will immediately start to foam at the mouth and begin kiling children at the nearest school. The proof of their insanity is that they actually believe this." -- someone in misc.survivalism

Thanks Gunner,

That is a mighty kind offer. I will let you know how things go. Hell, I might even through in a big soft drink to boot 8^)

I will probably eventually figure it out or develop some nice smoke.

Thanks again,

Jake > >

Well I got it running, but I cheated. I got a deal on a 3hp rotary phase converter. ;-)

I still plan to to use the VFD on the lathe, but now I can take my time and get it right. Rather than rewire the existing control pannel, I plan to make my own pannel so I can get the best of both worlds.

Now, I can sell off my old SB 9" and hopfully recoup some of what I have in the new lathe.

Many thanks to all that that provided help and moral support.
