Total noob here, how do I use a VFD to run my 1HP, 3ph motor on 2ph or possibly 1ph power?
I don't believe it's a problem cutting line power to the VFD from either a switch or plug. The issue is using a switch between the VFD output to the motor. You can use the manual switch on the machine but it needs to be wired to the low voltage outputs on the VFD specifically designed for...- jbacc

New Trav-a-dial ?
Not my experience either. I have one on my lathe, it works very well. -

OT: Anyone order from mrosupply.com?
Or, a gift card for the entire cost of the product he purchased from a different vendor. Not sure but either way, the COO's gesture seems to be a valid attempt to satisfy the original poster. -

OT: Anyone order from mrosupply.com?
I'm reading this as the gift card was to reimburse him for the cost of what he bought from another vendor. They could not issue a refund to his credit card. -

Power feed recomendation
I have a couple of the cheap ones mounted on my Bridgeport. They have and continue to work well. I never owned a Servo brand unit so I can't really compare but my cheapos have served me well.- jbacc

Mori Seiki clones
I own a 1970’s era Webb/Whacheon 17x40 machine and it’s a great lathe as others have said. I have heard Lion lathes from Europe are good machines but I don’t have first hand knowledge. I have seen a couple of guys on YouTube use them and one of the big reasons they opted for them aside from...- jbacc

Ratchet quill handle for my Bridgeport.
I was given one of those steering wheel type wheels for the quill on my BP. I wasn’t sure I’d like it but after a few weeks of use, I find it quite convenient to use, more so than the stock BP quill handle. -

Way oil - what is the magic of Vactra
I use Sunoco 1180 Waylube and actually like it better than the Vactra #2 that I used previously. Purchased other Sunoco oils for use in my 10EE and they too have been great alternatives to the more expensive Mobil products. I purchased them from Petroleum Service Company in 5 gallon... -

Walmart moron.
Without going into too much detail I have been carrying for more than 40 years. Strictly from a tactical perspective, it's silly to show your hand by openly carrying your weapon. Now, I understand in some states that's the only way you are permitted to do so but not here in the northeast...- jbacc
