yup i made an adapter plate and a shaft bushing with special key way to make it all work together. if you read through some of my previous posts i do alot of stainless work and steel work with my IH mills. i have this conversion on both my manual mill and my cnc mill and it works just fine.
also you definitely want the higher RPM motor on your mill. there is no reason to get a VFD if your staying manual either. i bought a 56c single phase 220 motor for my manual mill and it works just fine. it a capacitor start motor just like the original but in a much more popular size.
i did go with a 3 phase vfd driven motor for my cnc IH mill though. btw both motors i have are 3 hp and i got them both used off of ebay. |
