I’ll check American rotary phase converter. My spindle motor is only 1.5 up. As far as the collet. I have one tool that came with it. It is a drill Chuck. I’ll post a picture of it and the spindle. It looks to be just a 1/2” straight shaft. I’m out of my element her for sure. Any help is appreciated.


VFD's can be considered one per motor.

Your spindle speed is separate from your table feed so they do not need to be synchronized. You would need one VFD for the spindle speed and one VFD for the table feed.
