[TheForge] Fwd: Shop tools & layount (3-phase converter)

[Kenny O.]

  is there a way to change a three phase motor to be used with 220 ...
  I see them much cheaper at the tool zoo?  I also saw this thing
  called a phase-a-matic which cost $150.00 .  Its claim is to be a
  "static phase converter".  Has any one used these things or
  attempted to make there own?
  Thanks

  I would suggest that when you wire your shop , you pull an extra
  wire for 3
  phase power and just leave it un-connected in your electrical
  boxes....
