With a flash and a pop my year old VFD died yesterday. It was an eBay special, slightly used and not designed for a dusty environment. I protected it the best I could, keeping it away from the grinder, cleaning it and shielding it. However in that millisecond of ozone and light my heart was broken.
I am currently replacing it with a static phase converter. I'll get less HP but I will be able to continue the roughing out of the eight blades I've forged to keep me busy over the winter.
My question for this thread is what VFD is the best for knifemaking? What can keep going all day, handle the dust and crud, withstand the extremes of temperature (freezing to hot!) and hang in for the long haul?
Thank you all in advance.
