Re: General Woodworking Question
Thanks for all the great feedback folks.? In a way I'm a wee bit glad the solution wasn't intuitively obvious to my fellow woodworkers.? Imran is correct in his illustration above; I am interested

Re: Looking for a band saw the size of a Minimax 16/Felder FB510 or so in the upper Midwest

I put external brake resistors on my lathe. I found four 25 ohm resistors on ebay for $50 total and wired two in series and two parallel to keep the ohm thing correct. I mounted them in a different

TJ, that is good info. i have never explored braking on the VFD that runs my RL125 but i believe it works the same way and supports ext. braking resistor. just curious, how does your VFD communicate

The VFD does indeed provide internal braking, up to the current limit of the switching devices. Without the internal braking it takes maybe 50 or 60 seconds to wind down. A braking resistor in theory

TJ, considering the size, i am surprised with 7 sec stop time without braking. does it have CI wheels? imran

Also, I agonized about using a braking resistor, but after doing a mockup and playing with deceleration time in the drive, I found that the drive can stop the wheels in about 7 seconds without an

Thanks all for the feedback. The parts are from Automation Direct. My constraint was that I didn't want to exceed the existing footprint of the saw with a big VFD enclosure, and the logical place to

Wow, that is a super clean install. Ive wired a few VFDs, but mine are just in plywood boxes next to the machines, lol! Were those enclosures and switches plug and play with the specific VFD you
