110V 1hp Hitachi HJ200 VFD on my 618 Atlas metal lathe

[Mike Heidrick]

Added a 1hp 110V Hitachi HJ200 VFD to my Atlas 618 lathe today. I show it running after the 12" Craftsman Commercial metal lathe walk around. Pretty sweet VFD! Would make a great one for a small 1hp chinese water cooled spindle for a small CNC machine.

I like WJ200 series drives too. I currently have a FUJI drive (http://www.ctiautomation.net/FUJI-FRENIC-Mini-Inverters.htm) on my set up.

I put the 2.2kw WJ200 on my big CNC mill recently. They are awesome and VERY capable VFDs. It is being controlled by the AjaxCNC AllinoneDC controller and Centroid software.
