As far as the RF-45 goes, about all I can say is that I would run
it off a VFD just as I do my Nichols horizontal/vertical miller.
The Nichols has 5 belt positions, and I only use one of them plus

the variable speed. Drew Rogge just bought one for his workplace
and as time goes on, we'll see how he likes it.
