    Post Constant Torque vs Variable Torque VDF

    What kind of VDF should i buy for my cnc mill. I will be milling aluminum
    Should i buy a constant Torque or a Variable Torque
    Here are the two options i was thinking. Spindle suggestions would be great too

    WJ200-022SF 3HP 2.2kW 230V Single Phase Input VFD - Hitachi
    WJ200-022SF: Constant Torque, Sensorless Vector, Single Phase In

    NES1-022SB: Variable Torque Hitachi 3 HP, 2.2 kW, VFD
    VFD NES1-022SB, AC Motor Drive

    You need a constant torque, sensor-less vector version, as opposed to a V/F type, more suitable for fan applications etc.

    Assuming you are talking about a CNC mill and not a router with a high speed spindle, go with the sensorless vector VFD, will give you a nearly flat torque curve from 0 to the motor base RPM (1800?) and constant HP above that.

    If you are talking about an inexpensive router spindle (~20,000 RPM), then the sensorless vector VFD might work well, but you can't run them below about 14,000 or so without overheating.
