Looking to swap a 2Hp single phase motor for 1.5 or 2Hp 3-phase motor
Anyone interested in changing their machine to single phase? I have a nice Australian made 2Hp single phase 2850rpm foot mount motor that I bought new around 15 years ago and used on a compressor. I updated that to 3Hp maybe 3 years ago and it's been collecting dust since then. I'll clean it up before showing it to anyone :)
I want a 1.5 or 2Hp (1440 rpm preferred) 3-phase motor for my smaller lathe to run on a VFD.
THE LIMITING FACTOR is the physical size of the motor: it cannot be more than 210mm across/diameter in at least one plane (or it won't fit inside the lathe base). Please measure rather than estimate that dimension. Foot mount preferred but not critical.
