Didn't Jet offer the 3-phase (2 speed motor) option?
My Enco tops out at 3500 rpm. It's a step pulley, but with the 2 speed motor I get 10 speeds out of it.
When I bought the Jet, I got a deal on it, because it was ordered by someone and it came in single phase. They refused it, and about 3 days later I bought it. Mine has 25 speeds, from 48 rpm to 1750, because of the "mill transmission", I made
I looked in to a 3 phase motor and an inverter/vfd, because the motor is a "special" and is ungodly expensive, I have held off. So far I've worked around the lack of top end speed, maybe for my birthday.
