Not really an option on 240V domestic power. 3HP is almost certainly enough, with the reduction gear for big work. The Variator is 3000 rpm max output, so running a 1440 motor for the mid range at 100Hz for the high-speed stuff ought to be a reasonable compromise. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
