About
I had recently acquired a lathe from a local (Hugo, MN) machine-shop store by name “Inter-Plant-Sales”. I have been exploring for a good featured set metal lathe for quite some time and was glad to find something I really have been looking to get.
It’s a “Smart & Brown – Model A MK-I” toolroom lathe – specs:
The machine is a beauty, is in pristine condition (considering its age early 1950s), all of the functions seem to be in excellent working condition. I am very excited about this purchase, believe it will enable me to continue learning the art of machining (I hope). It should arrive early next week in my newly cleared up 3rd car garage area which I am repurposing for my extended-workshop nowadays.
Update:
The machine has been delivered the other day – more details here
Pictures:
Here are a few seller provided pictures. I should have more pictures and videos in the coming days/weeks – when time permits.
Video provided by the seller:
220v Single Phase to 220v 3 Phase – Variable Frequency Driver (VFD)
In order for me to run this lathe on my home 220v single phase outlet, I will need a VFD that can drive this lathe per spec adequately. I had purchased a VFD by TECO Westinghouse model The TECO Westinghouse L510 – model (L510-202-H1-U) found here.
Specs of the VFD:
