KMG converted to direct drive!

Ed I am very interested in this modification. I run two machines off of one VFD now, but I have to plug the machine I am using into the Twistlock plug I have coming out of my VFD.

Also, as soon as I get the time, I'll build a tutorial on how I used a single KBAC VFD to power TWO separate grinders. Just by buying/wiring in a toggle switch, you can run two machine off one VFD..... and save about $400 in the process.
 
Here's a link to a webpage on my site for the modification.....at least the way I did it. http://www.caffreyknives.net/1_VFD_2_Motors.html

Excellent tutorial!

Clear and concise with great pictures. Well done.

I wish you had this up when I did mine. It would have same me quite a bit of researching.

I was able to find a 3PDT switch on eBay but the one you linked to will work just as good.

One note to anyone taking on this project, take pictures of everything before disconnecting anything. That way if you get confused or something isn't working right you can always refer back to the pictures as a reference.
