This section is for woodworkers who are interested in increasing the versatility of their machine tool by converting to full variable speed control.
For any woodturning or bowl turning operation, there is a cutting speed that is just right, and with variations in the diameter of the work piece, the spindle speed too has to be continuously adjusted as the work progresses.
With full electronic variable speed control from a variable speed drive or inverter, you can adjust the spindle speed 'on the run' without having to stop the machine, and are able adjust the speed as the diameter changes to give no tool chatter and thus achieve that perfect surface finish.
Our new range of Mitsubishi Electric variable speed controllers now make this an affordable option. With a Mitsubishi Electric variable frequency inverter, and new Dual-voltage three phase motor, the full potential of your wood turning lathe can now be finally unleashed.
Our variable speed drives from Mitsubishi Electric comply with both CE and UL approvals, and are available with optional RFI 'footprint' filter units to comply with the 1992/5 EMC Regulations.
We have variable speed control packages available ranging from basic inverter packages to completely pre-wired systems with new dual-voltage 3ph motor.
Solutions are available to suit all standard woodturning lathes, including Harrison, Union 'Graduate', Viceroy, Myford and many others.
Please note: In certain circumstances we are able to convert the original specification 415V 3 phase motors (as often found fitted to machines purchased on the second hand / ex-industrial market) to 'Dual-Voltage' configuration for running off our 200V class inverter drives. Call us now for more details.
Systems are also available for other types of lathes and machine tools.
