Doug,

Another was EMS. I think Yaskawa bought out Magnetek's VFD division and
also has parted ways with Saftronics. BTW, I think the Omron VFD is also made
by Yaskawa. Good stuff. The 3 HP VFD on my Bridgeport has to be the best
thing I ever did. Being able to run exactly the best speed for any tooling
has greatly extended tool esp. in 17-4, 316 and other tough materials.
