[Emc-users] Thoughts / Recommendations on spindle drive and motor

2022-03-24 Thread John Figie
Now I am ready to figure out what to do for the spindle drive. The project is a 1972 Clausig NC lathe. The original paper tape fed controls are long gone. I actually have the owners manual. The original lathe had a 5 HP motor and a variable speed transmission similar to bridgeport heads and many

More obviously, run the motor at its rated speed, change one of the pulleys to give you your desired spindle speed. On Thu, 24 Mar 2022 at 17:33, heritagespringerguy--- via Emc-users < emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > A VFD w/ anti-snoring features. > > Love it! > > > On Mar 24, 2022,
