Quick update. I spent the extra cash and got the kbac-27d for my VFD. The motor is a 1.5hp hallmark industries. Both of which I've received. I got my wheels from a company called pfunder fab. Received those as well. Got my GIB in and went and bought the necessary hardware for assembly. I just...

Good luck with that. He'd Ned to grow a few other arms and another brain to get that going. He's one of the busiest guys I've met. Lol.

Mudman. I'm EdgeAddict on bcusa. Good to see you here

I'm with mudman. Masecraft is pretty awesome.

Well said. [emoji106]

Gotcha. That makes sense I thought you meant like a sharpening stone.

You ground your bevels with a stone?? How does that work? I'm genuinely curious.

So if I get a 5 inch wheel @ 60hz spinning 1725 I'd be getting 2258 sfm. So I'd have to run my motor at 100% over just to reach 4500 sfm. Thats my next question what does that mean for the longevity of my motor and would I experience loss of torque? Just trying to get a full picture of everything

So I'd be looking at greater low speed torque? That sounds great.

What's the reasoning for choosing a 1725 over a 3450? I don't doubt your right just wasn't sure what the reasoning is

Really? Its been a minute since I last ordered. I usually buy sheets too. That may make a difference. Seems I was mistaken alpha has great prices.

I can across a 1725 1.5hp 3ph for half the motor I was looking at. With a 2year warranty too. But not sure what the overall benefit is of the lower rpm?

Masecraft. Probably the best price for g10 anywhere

Importance of motor speed? 1725 or 3450? If I get 1725 would a larger drive wheel be necessary to maximize the potential sfpm? Inverter duty vs general duty vs continuous duty?

I'm going to pull the trigger today on polar bear forges GIB. Yes I can probably do a NWG myself for less but I feel like my time to source the materials locally and fabricate would exceed the cost of buying from Jamie. I will go through eBay for my wheel set. That seems like a great price...

I don't dislike it but it is definitely not my top 5. See if your customer likes it

I have a lot to rethink on this build. Thank you gentlemen. I appreciate the input and help.

I'd like to add that I am listening and I am not combative. I just air out my thinking so I can understand where I'm mistaken. Thanks for all the help so far

But that's the thing I am averaging 4-5 orders a month right now and it is growing quickly. I don't know why. Its all mainly word of mouth but its growing none the less. I won't argue that any machine I get will be under utilized for now but for how long? 6 months or maybe a year and I could be...
