I had a Delta 46-250 with a bad motor so I ordered the VS kit since the original replacement motor is no longer available. I needed two running so I could teach my grandkids to turn along side me. I guess that'll have to wait until I get my LA200 fixed now since the start capacitor died. So I finished installing the VS set up in the 46-250 today. The mounting of the controller box ain't the prettiest setup, but it works and I'm back turning again. And they include no instructions at all for where to put it or how so you are pretty much left to your own ingenuity.
I turned on it a little today and my first impressions are that it is under powered. I actually bogged the motor down some while sanding, but I had the controller turned down to the lowest setting at the time. But I do love being able to control the speed by simply twisting a knob. We'll see how it does when I put something taxing on it like an 8 inch bowl.
