I just got my new toy: p today and have a few ABC questions. AKA stupid questions. The lathe is a Jet 1642 EVS 1 1/2 HP. It did not take much to go together as a matter of fact it was a breeze it took less than 1 hour and I had no help. I think I'm falling in love again
The questions are.
1) What is the inverter for? It has a couple of buttons and a digital read out, plus a dial from low to high. I have no clue what is that for (the whole thing) is the dial supposed to be in high low or what? it read the frequency which first I can't tell what that is and why should I be concerned about it.
2) The digital read out on the front for the rpm. My impression is that it does not concord with the actual speed the lathe is running at. If I set it to where the spindle travels to its lower speeds the display shows it at over 150 or so rpm which I doubt that is the case if I crank it to the max it reads the max peed the lathe is capable of depending in the high low setting. Should I look any further or very low speed can equal about 150 or so rpm.
3) Why would I use the lathe on reverse?
Thanks for the help.
