1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

wrong thread.

 

I know.. I need 50 posts.. I'm trying..

 

Get me the hookup on some 2hp capable VFDs so I can run a damn Bridgeport mill at home cause I'm too cheap to pay for them to run 3 phase even though it's available in my neighborhood.

 

Actually now I remember.. I had the 2nd gen first.. and then 1st gen now.. time flys..

 

Dont shit post in here to much, mods usally catch on if you are just doing it to sell something. Then they reset your post.

 

Meh, a female best friend you live with is better than being alone

 

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! God nooooooo.. It took me three weeks to get here.

 

What're you looking g to spend? I could ask my people I know in the biz and see if I can get you a deal. 3ph or 1ph... total amp load?

 

till you have to hire a 400/hr lawyer.

 

Sometimes you have to work reeeeeaaaaalllllyyyy hard for good things.

 

Hmm, lemme ask my buddy for a picture of what's on his mill motor. He's got a rotary phase converter otherwise I'd ask him for VFD specs.

 

Why not get a rotary converter probably get one new sub 1k.

idk if you need to run a VFD to do what you need, seems unnecessary

 

It just saves me from having two very noisy things on at once. But yeah I could probably build a rotary phase converter myself. I have access to lots of 3ph motors just not many 1ph to spin the fuckers.

 

Hey, that's why you discuss ALL the possibilities right out the gate. Dunno how much you dealt with but I'm going on 14+ yrs, with a break somewhere in there, and .. having both been through someshit we'd still rather finish life together. Than not

 

Yeah they are loud. Use to run one at the restaurant because the owner got all 3phase mixers lol

But i feel like it will last you longer and be less of a headache then trying to run a drive.

 

Drive might be more appropriate for a lathe anyway, be hard to switch directions on a dime with a drive.

 

well, you should be thankful that you were lucky/smart enough to bond w a rational women! Those are like uni-rhinos. The flying ones.

 

@Speedytech7 get like a R3 or R5 model

 

I honestly envy you for that communication and realism.
