Hobbymat MD65 with variable speed control

Those lathes are driven by a fixed speed 0,25kW, Single Phase, 220VAC motor.
Because I needed variable speeds I did some research to make it possible.

Finding a smal 0,18kW 3 phase motor and a inverter drive on the net, for under 100 euro was funny.

Adding control switches from Ebay I thought I would give it a Go !

The inverter is a Moeller DF5-322 0,37kW.

To make it work I needed a PC interface to get all the parameters of the drive on the correct settings.
The Moeller interfaces I found where way to expencive.

Well, the result is below and it works great !

Now it was possible to make new pulleys for the belt drive

And the result till now.............

Then my bits and tools needed to be organized.

So, I created drawer inserts with my 3d printer 3DDIE.
