fitting a 110v or 220v single phase spindle motor on a 3 phase machine
I know this is out of the range of topics usually covered in the benchtop forum but...
I have been looking at getting an X2 for a while now...I was talking to a friend of mine that works at MSC about thier benchtop units. He offered me a deal I dont think I can pass up. Its an older Cincinnati Mill with a vertical and horizontal spindle... Im not sure of the exact model but I know the Horizontal spindle is fixed in position.
Now to my question how practical would it be to change the non working 220v 3 phase spindle motor over to a 220v single phase or 110v spindle motor? I think I would still be way better off than with an X2 even if I couldnt use the machine to its full potential.
Comments, advice, critisism appreciate^^
Thanks
