  • Today we're finally installing the electronics in the Hammond box, on the wall next to the lathe. We'll connect the control wiring and run the lathe with the VFD for the first time.
    If you'd like to do this upgrade on your lathe, here are some of the parts and tools I used:

    Thank you for this entire series. The detail at each step was no more/no less than required. This is class act. In my 49 years, I have not had the privilege of sitting at the feet of any instructor and reach session-end with no core gaps in knowledge, prior to now. You sir are gifted. Thank you for the balanced breadth, depth, and detail you present in this series. Not once did you drop the ball - perfectly executed!

    Your videos are the best! Very informative and thorough. But the little story about your Grandfather buying you your first wrench and the fact that you still use it is priceless. You had a great teacher from a young age. Love it.

    Stumbled across this video series after looking for info on VFD to run a 2 post vehicle lift. This has to be one of the most excellent, informative video series i've seen on them, thank you for taking the time to make them. It was especially good as you explained a lot of the info that people are looking for on the supplementary controls and external switching can be used, that there's so little info out there on. Many thanks for taking the time again James it's very much appreciated!

    Got the gear and now the knowledge to convert my lathe. Love to have that low speed feed for threading up to a shoulder. Thanks for a brilliant series.

    This whole series was interesting and informative, and I was feeling engaged throughout. Somehow, though, seeing you run it through its paces once the installation was all complete was just… a whole delight unto itself. That automatic ramping on the VFD controller made the forward and reverse switching perfectly safe… it felt like “noooo, don’t switch it at speed!”, and then… it’s fine! It just ramps. Very cool. Great work, past James! :)

    You sir, are amazing. Just watched all 6 videos (and I see you have an addendum, gonna watch that too). I have been thinking of getting a VFD for my old school Oliver wood lathe with a reeves drive but I have been as little intimidated. You did am excellent job explaining everything. There were times while watching that I didn't seem to understand, but like magic, you made sure to explain everything in detail.
