Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Orac CNC and VFD

The Orac drive is a VFD so replacing it with a more modern VFD should not be
a problem. The new VFD will have to be rated at 500W or more. I have an Orac
that I intend to retrofit as soon as time allows and if I figure out how to
get the original drive working I will let you know.
