Hi, I've been searching for where to buy this style of grub screw, they have a nylon 'pellet' in them, or at least that's the description of them I can find, does anyone know any other names these go by? I might be searching for the wrong name.

Hi Rob, thanks for the reply, looks like you've done a tidy job of that, it got me thinking if it might be simpler/cheaper to just replace the motor with a single phase, as I don't need to control the motor speed in any way, but out of interest (please excuse my electrical ignorance) could I use a single VFD to power the main motor and the pump motor?

Thanks for all the replies, I just noticed how many there were.

By 'generic' I meant the Chinese own brand names that pop up on ebay when you do a search, the ones for around £50 -£60,

More about the intended use, it's to wire up to a Boxford VM30 milling machine, from what I understand, VFD's don't like switches downstream, I want to retain the original on/off switch, coolant on/off switch and safety kick stop if possible, will I be able to wire these switches to the VFD to retain the use of these? and will the VFD power the drive motor and a separate coolant pump motor?

Cheers

Hi, thanks for responding, I had seen that, but I read a comment (on this website) from someone who bought this, and said it didn't have much info in it,

Cheers, Pete.

Looking at getting a VFD to run a small 3 phase mill, are the generic Chinese units on ebay any good? anyone have any recommendations on what to buy or what to avoid?

Thanks.

Hi, I've just acquired a Boxford Vm30 milling machine, does anyone have a manual they'd be willing to sell, or photo copy and sell?

Any help much appreciated.
