You are right. My problem is: I have only one phase 220V power available and I'm using the inverter to get 3ph 220V power for the motor. Also I'l use the same setup for 3 different finishing wheels and brushes and those may require different rpm and the inverter will help. Quote Houston, we have a problem
Members HBAR Posted December 3, 2016 Members Report Posted December 3, 2016 Doesnt anyone use a drill press? They are variable speed and the Beary burnishers (the ones he used to sell here) chuck right in and you are done. Quote
bikermutt07 Posted December 3, 2016 Author Report Posted December 3, 2016 I don't have the space for a drill press. Plus I got the motor for free. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

Members OLDNSLOW Posted December 4, 2016 Members Report Posted December 4, 2016 I did use a drill press, but now have other motors for burnishing and use the drill press with a horse hair buffing polishing brush running around 7 to 900 rpm the brush is great for black dyed items. the brush came from Pilgrim shoe and sewing machine but was a little pricey Quote
Members dikman Posted December 4, 2016 Members Report Posted December 4, 2016 Fair enough, Gigi, in your case it makes sense to use a VFD/3 phase motor setup. Should give you some flexibility.
