I posted a question several months ago about how people move old American made jointers when they are able to find and buy them. The responses I got were very helpful. I finally found a 1967 Northfield 12" jointer. It has a 3-phase 3 HP motor. I got it off the truck and into my shop thanks to a forklift I rented. It worked very well. The next step is to figure out a good VFD that will run it. I know absolutely nothing about VFD's or how to select the correct one for the jointer. Any suggestions on a good VFD and where to buy it would be much appreciated. I haven't decided if I am brave enough to wire it myself or if I will hire an electrician to do it. I'm leaning toward the latter.
