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

        Rick, I had looked into it but the break off point appears to be
3HP........that is also the point the price starts to skyrocket on the ones
from 5Hp to 10 Hp, but you can't feed them with single phase yet (at least
not from the couple of companies I checked with.
