Hello Billmac,
I have been reading posts on the site about Smart and Brown 1024 lathes,
I hope you don't mind me messaging you but I have just bought a S&B 1024 VSL and I read on one of the pages you say....
"My 1024 has a VFD and I can select either the same speed change method as the original (i.e. three fixed motor speeds) or continuously variable. This works better than I had anticipated - you can tweak the speed to improve the finish and even wind it up a bit as you face."
I was Just wondering were you running this of domestic electricity ( I'm located in Ireland so 230v domestic) and if so what type of VFD were you using as Id little a simple method of powering mine up,
Thanks for any help
