Maybe it's because I havnt been looking but I don't remember hearing or reading any complaints about VFDs regardless of the make. For the S&B I think if for nothing else than my own peice of mind I'll go with the Hitachi. I have a 2hp 3ph motor I bought cheap online that will eventually go on my Clausing mill, I'll give the Teco drives a try with that.

Very nice S&B. I have not seen very many of these in Canada. What is the story of how it came to you? What kit were you able to get with it (TTA, steadies, collet set up)? Regads, David Craig

Late to the party but +1 several times for Hitachi. Mine have been very reliable and I like having good documentation given the many configuration parameters.
