My mills and my myford are 3 phase and my supply 2 phase. I looked very
closely at the issues before making a decision. I now have a rotary
converter which is on wheels and moves from one machine to the other. This
is infinitely better than solid state which is very messy and needs
different settings for different machines and even different jobs. Cost a
few quid but definitely worth it. Cheaper than laying a new mains supply.

Subject: [modeleng] Question about phase converters
Chaps
My first post and it's a question for any and all to answer :- Has
anybody out there got, or used, phase converters ?. I'm just on the verge
of
building the new workshop for an attempt at a 41/2" Burrell but will need
bigger
machinery than I have at the moment, which really means going to 3 phase. I
have heard good and bad things abut these bits of kit but would rather hear
from people in the know (as it were). I have definately been told that a
rotary
will be better than a solid state. ALL replies, good or bad, will be most
welcome.
