I'm getting a real mill, my Rung Fu is gonna have to say good bye...
So the new (used) mill has a 2 hp 3 ph 220v 6.5 FLA motor.... My shop naturally has single phase power.... I've been told I need to up size the VFD but that you can buy to big of a VFD also.... Some websites suggest going 185% over size... that would mean a 3.75 HP drive... Well I have to choose from a 3HP drive or a 5HP drive... Leaning toward the 5HP but thought I'd ask...
