Hello all, The lathe has sat in the garage since 2006 mocking me. It's a long story, but at last the time has arrived to get the inverter connected, a Newton Tesla Mitsubishi E500 supplied with their 3ph motor.. Is there anything I should be aware of when connecting? Has anyone added an inverter to their Warco lathe? I do like the lever operated forward/reverse feature on the lathe. Can this still be incorporated, or am I being too ambitious? I've mounted the inverter control module on the front of the gear train cover, as this makes it nicely to hand, with the inverter unit on the wall behind the lathe, with free air circulation. TS mill connected, but it will need a clean & lubricating before I switch it on. Geoff - actually getting into the workshop at last :-)
