I might need to replace the motor on my RF30. I rewired it for 220V. It ran fine for hours. When I plugged it back in something sparked inside the motor. It wasn't even on...which is weird enough.

Anyhow, I pulled the motor and will be taking it apart over the next few days. I was already concerned that the motor might have been the source of some vibration. So, in the spirit of considering all options, I would like to look into what I might be able to replace it with.

I have 220 V single phase in the garage.

Is there an inexpensive VFD / Variable speed option?

Perhaps go down to a single belt and drive it with a nice three phase motor and VFD?


Thanks,
