Not as well as I had hoped unfortunately. The vfd unit seems to have fried itself and that may have been a function of the low amperage the main feed to the shed delivers from the house mains. It has been compounded by the much colder weather with a greater demand on the grid so that has caused lower input as well. Going to be close to $2000 to get a new VFD, replace the 15 amp cable feed to the shed with a heavier 40 amp cable, the wiring associated with that and the wiring in of the hammer. He took the 3 ph motor off the grinder home with him to give it a good check over and will be back tomorrow (if the couriers deliver the needed goodies overnight) so hope to have the grinder back in action and the hammer all wired up and ready to go.
I did get the treddle sorted and replaced the linkages from the top spring to the tup and the drive arm and now have 6 inches of hammer lift if and when I need it for taller billets etc or to work with some of the tooling I have in mind to make
motor and vfd gone
