This weekend's project.....
I had this little lathe powered by a vfd and auto transformer sitting on a shelf, didn't really bother me as its just me in shop, but really it should be in an enclosure. Lathe motor is 380V and for a few reasons I did not want to replace it - usually easier to change the electrical signal than the motor. Added fans and a contactor with latching switches. Another Vevor enclosure .... I'm liking Vevor these days
. More 3d printed panel labels ... I sort of put the lettering too close to controls, oh well, too much else to do now, might reprint later.
