Re: New to me | Index 555 Milling Machine
Starting cheap, I'm looking at this as an option. With this my 2.0HP motor would only run at 2/3 of that (1.3HP). Am I really going to miss that 0.7HP just tinkering around with aluminum and light cuts on mild steel?

And in regards to #4; I am finding others on other forums asking the same question of powering multiple motors with a single VFD. Consensus appears to be it is ill advised. The VFD should be the device to start/stop the motors, not a switch interrupting power down stream.
This is the VFD I own for my CNC router and would buy again if it is applicable to the mill:

Grabbed up an XS3 for peanuts and will try that before I spend any real money on a VFD or other better solution.
Order manual direct from Wells-Index.
Picking up the machine Saturday morning.
