Since the beginning I have been running a 1.5 hp 1800 rpm set up on my grinder with 3 step pulleys. It has worked great but I am wanting to tilt for horizontal grinding and considering a direct drive.
My question is, how will a direct drive VFD 1 hp 1800 rpm compare to the 3 step pulley set up I am currently using?
Note: I know I could go for 1.5hp with VFD. The difference in price is $200
