[modeleng] Re: 3 phase

Absolutely... I picked up a second hand inverter (Hitachi J110 IIRC) and
a 3/4HP Allen-Bradley 3-phase motor for a total of about 75 UKP on ebay
(and 15 UKP of that was the delivery for the motor).... It transformed
my ML7 in terms of ability compared to the original 1/3 HP
resilient-mounted single-phase unit it was fitted with.... And I have a
take-off that allows me to power up anything else up to 3/4HP off the
box instead....
