Good VFD/Motor Deal

[mmattoon]

Howdy all. I've been looking for the best price I could get on a VFD/Motor. Best I could find locally was around 550.00 with a used motor. Somewhere in the archives I ran across the name of Dealer's Industrial Equipment. Checked their website, and they have a deal going. Marathon motor, TECO/Westinghouse VFD. 1 HP 240.00, 2HP 385.00, 3HP 438.00. I ordered the 2HP combo today. Should be here Friday. Now I have to save my pennies for a grinder! At the moment I cannot atest to sevice or reliability of the company, and I don't know how long the deal is good for. FWIW. Dealer's Industial Equipment 800-469-3110. Mark

www.dealerselectric.com Sorry, I don't know how to put it up as an HTML link. My confidence level is higher. They called today to confirm shipment and shipping charges. Good luck. Mark

I wish i had seen your post before i bought my 1.5 hp baldor var speed moter. I thought i got a good deal from tru-grit for 525.00. Please let me know how this unit works for you. I have a 2nd burr-king 960 that i am also going to convert to var. speed. I am also building a 3rd grinder from scratch. thanks:cool:

If you ever decide you need to get rid of one of those Burr kings, let me know I'll give it a good home, plenty of attention, feed it lots of S30V......It will probably be a while before I can afford a grinder, but ran across the motor deal while researching AC VFD's, and couldn't pass it up. Mark

About the grinders, the 2nd burr-king i bought at a auction in ill. for $550. At the time blackjack knives was going out of bussiness. There where about 7 to 9 burr-king's there some var. speed some where standerd. Ofcoarse mine was standerd but came with hydrolic lift table. I really wish i had more money with me.
