I am going to build another grinder or two with VFD's and was curious what most people prefer for basic RPM. I can get a little bit of a discount at WW Grainger and depending on HP, the prices vary for 3450 RPM vs. 1740 RPM. I have read that some people can use the doubling characteristic of a VFD on a 1740 motor.
Of course, if you come across a lower rpm motor then the ability to increase the speed would be helpful but I see no need for that if the 3450 motor will still slow down when you want it to.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
