recently i've sold my boxford lathe and 'upgraded' to a kerry ag thats been converted to single phase motor.
whilst i like the way it performs is there a way of making the motor any quieter?(its quite a loud hum coming from it,a new 1.5hp,echos through the cabinet as well) the motor runs all the time with a clutch to operate the spindle.
research suggests 3-phase is quieter but by how much? is it worth the effort being as i'll need an inverter as well.
thanks craig
