Title: 3 grinders, 1 VFD. {Disc, horizontal, and vertical}
Post by: srtben on July 29, 2012, 12:18:00 PM

I Finally got around finishing building the frames and wiring my newest grinders. A disc and a horizontal.
I wanted to run all of them with speed controllers, but didn't want to shell out the cash for another 2 VFD's. So with a little creative wiring I was able to hook them all up to through the same vfd. The horizontal should be the cats meow for profiling and the disc will be awesome for flat grinding and handle fit up. I just need to finish the other 2 work rests on horizontal and they will be all done.
Here are some pics and a short video.
