Whatever it takes..for me, I was quoted in writing 1.6 million to run 3phase 1,880 yards to my (I owned it) commercial building.
It already had 10 units each with 600 amp 240 volt single phase service.
I had many machine tool company's say "yea just put in 3phase and you will be good to go" I would pull out that quote..then it was quiet time
At that time I had 5 HAAS verticals each with their own rotary. Never had a problem, Haas never said boo.
The ones I bought in the late 90's were 3500rpm, loud, and $5500 each
The ones you can get today are soooo much better 1750rpm and less than half that price.
Fine and dandy..but your problem is the machine tool dealer said no go. You cant buy a new machine like that. If you get someone from haas to say yes..make sure it is in writing. I wonder if this has something to do with the new control.
My next step would be to go to the big dog at your local HFO..not the salesman and ask for intervention on your behalf. You calling Oxnard is one thing, the owner of the HFO calling is quite another.
If quality of power is the real concern (and not just another way to say FU) I would volunteer to install the converter for their techs to verify good 3rd leg power
