It's been a long grind but quite enjoyable and I may have accidently learned a few things. Duh!Īnyway all's well that ends well and I love how the lathe operates now. It turns out that Gizmowizard installed a 5 HP VFD but I never thought to ask him what size drive he used, again assuming that it would be 3 HP. I added a Machtach RPM/SFM readout (can't say enough about Machtach and it's owner, Henry Arnold) and the Hitachi remote is also mounted on the articulating arm along with all controls. Andy programmed in a couple work-arounds on the Hitachi WJ200 VFD and it was Andy that suggested that I put all controls to the right of the carriage. My biggest mistake was assuming that a 3 HP VFD would suffice. There was help also from Gizmowizard, AKA Paul, another local Sag 12 owner that installed a VFD. Fortunately I had a LOT of help from a former co-worker who is an electronics tech and also some wonderful advise and help from Lakeside53, AKA Andy. My problem was (is) a lack of knowledge of anything electronic. I operated it first using a RPC but couldn't stand the combined noise so went to a VFD. The lathe was very little used and came with most accessories including taper attachment, both rests, 3 & 4 jaw chucks, 5C collet chuck, blah blah. The Photobucket site has undergone some changes and I'm not sure if my pics will transfer as clickable thumbnails. Ugly machine, works great! I'll try to attach a few pics of my Grazzi. I think you're the person I bought a Powermatic 1200 drill press from. I live in the Wallingford district of north Seattle.
