It seem everyone of the VFD's have slight differences, just like 3hp motors some draw more amps than others @ full load. So if you lathe was powered by a 1hp it should be well under the 3hp of the VFD.
One good thing "knock on wood" VFD's are overload protected, they just don't let the smoke out like somethings. I have the teco/FM50 on a Simpson sand muller 3hp motor draws 14 amps, vfd is 12 amps, when I over fill the muller the VFD will shut down. Give the "OL" error code. Not a big deal, sand doesn't mull right when it's too full.
speed presets should be fine, ramp speed setting you will have to see, oh the small print in the "owners manual"
in chinglish too!
