Hi David
I see you have retro fitted a Starturn lathe, did you use a VFD to drive your spindle?

I am trying to retro fit an Orac, but having problems getting the spindle to turn via a VFD,

Can you offer any advice?

Thanks
Mike

Hi David
Thanks for reply, I had an old VFD that came with the machine, so gave up on it and found a new one on ebay.

After playing with a few settings  got Mach to contol spindle, at last

What sort of stuff do you make on you machine?

Regards

Mike
