Attachment 197011Ok, vfd and motor purchased. Now what next ? there are so many design plans online. I am thinking just using the KMG variable speed design. One pully to shaft and pillow block bearings to drive wheel. Simple. simple is better to me . see attached. But instead of using many pieces of steel and taping a lot . I was thinking steel square tubing for the structure and plate steel for base and misc ? I figured why source the metal I need , get it in my hands, then purchase wheels, nuts bolts , whatever. Then Head over to my nephews , "he knows how to weld and cut steel" with plans and get started with creating the frame . I guess my thoughts are "have a complete design in place" . I am in no rush by the way . Then build the structure. Tap, weld, paint , etc. Then next step . Coments are welcome. Oh, and I spoke to my nephews brother who can wire the vfd. I am excited but I know this will take maybe 2 months to complete.
