When you get a chance would, you please post a picture of the insides of the electrical box? My mill will come with a VFD but not installed so I'd like to do some homework prior to its arrival. No rush.

Thanks,
Ed

Mike,

I see from your videos that you got your mill with the power feed installed. Can you tell me if the crank handles are the free wheeling safety handles?

Thanks,
Ed

Nope, you didn't lose me or scare me off for that matter. The wife and I have just been in Grand Teton NP for the past week relaxing and have not had any internet, sorry to leave you hanging.

My mill is a single phase variable speed head so there isn't an electrical box per se. It merely has a single connection in which needed to be attached to a standard 220-single phase connection and it feeds a rotary switch and then the motor.

With the power X-axis the handles are very easy to turn still and they are not like the BP's in that you have to push and hold in while turning the ball crank handles. They simply turn very easily while going through the motor for the powered axis. The travels are still very fluid and smooth even on the X-axis with the motor. I don't use the power X-axis as much as I thought I would but for longer cuts and a consistant finish it sure works well.

Mike.
