Shoptask lath drive train replacement
I have recently converted to a 3 phase motor with a VFD. I have noticed several photos of other shoptasks where the motor pully drives the spindle pulley directly. Just looking for advice on belt lenght a pulleys to make the conversion. I am using mach 3 and a new campbell controller to run the VFD.
Anybody got pictures of how to perform conversion?

Thanks so much!!!!!
This is exactly what I've been looking for.
Just wanted all the extra noise removed and a smooth spindle.
I have my wrenchs in hand, and will start looking for the belt you mentioned.
The pictures speak a thousand words....
Thanks again

I am considering conversion to VFD 3 HP 3 phase. If I must do only one axis to start with, which would you suggest first? The mill or the lathe?

Re: Shoptask lath drive train replacement
It seems that only you could answer that question since you know which function you use the most. However, I think once you begin the process, it would be sort of counterintuitive to do just one function since you would have to do all the wiring and installation of the VFD anyway.
