Very nice shop, Mike!Much like mine - one bay of a 3 car garage. But over the years, I've expanded out into the 2nd bay I've got a question: So what's the black motor looking thing behind the Bridgeport, just below the indoor side of the heat pump?Thanks for sharing pictures of your shop. I like it!Kim
Real nice setup Mike. In the redneck fashion, I set my converter on an old lawnmower tire; instant rubber feet and a whole lot quieter. Cletus
How is the heat pump working Mike. I was out at the shop briefly this morning and it was 28 outside and a nice 67 inside with no emergency heat strips on. Hope yours is allowing for more shop time.Bill
Looks great. I also have a mini-split for AC that works great in the summer. I have in-floor heat so don't use the heater function.While my BP is a pulley system, and I use the VFD for speed control, you might be better off doing the same as it would reduce wear on your variable speed head. Worth trying it both ways. With my VFD I removed the mill's switch and wired directly to the motor. This prevents accidentally switching and damaging the VFD.
