I also have a 12hp perske sitting on the floor of my shop. My router
had 4 of them on it back a few years. I don't have 3 phase were I am
at so I am currently running a 3 1/4 hp porter cable. I have 2 of the
25hp freq drives. each 25hp drive ran 2 routers. I would like to drive
this with a smaller freq drive. Any suggestions. Would like to get
variable speed. Being its 300 hertz and 12hp I don't know what could
drive it.
Can it be rewired to a 5hp motor?
Either that Or i'm gonna sell it. Had the used thermwood guy offer me
$500 for it last year. Guess that was a good price if that one on
e-bay went for $100.
