hi guys, and gals, this has always been my go to forum for odd questions and research, its a great place!
i just acquired a Cincinnati 12 1/2 while i am cleaning it up changing fluids, and working out a top slide issue... i need to ask a beat to death question...
what do i need to look for in a rotary phase converter. from what i have read it is a 3 hp motor on the lathe but it does not say on the plate. Cash is of the essence at the moment with all that is going on in the world, so i kind of need an economical solution to get going. i do have a small mill that will run off of this too, but not at the same time. i am trying to check with the power company to get a quote on 3 phase power since the 3 phase runs right through my yard to a shop down the way, but after hours of wasting on hold i keep giving up, and i assume it will be out of my range anyway.
thanks for any help!
