Fully bummed.

Grinder motor burned out I think.
TEFC elektrim single phase came with my Wilmont lb1000.
It's about a year old, maybe a little more.

Not sure what I'm going to do, but if I have to replace it suggestions on a a 3phase and budget vfd would be welcome.

Fully stoked!

When I put the grinder together a year or so ago I put one of the blade connectors on the switch where only the plastic sleeve was holding on to the blade.

It took this long for the plastic to break, took about 10 minutes and back up and running.

I must have been in a hurry back then.

Vfd upgrade at a later date then this motor will be used to rebuild my 1x42

Sounds like you lucked out - congrats!

I have the same motor and have had to replace the wire to the switch and the switch itself a couple of times.

Good to know, thanks.
