Hello South Bend Enthusiasts!
I just brought home my 1941 SB 113-B. It has been in my business machine shop for over 40 years. It got used very rarely but regularly... a few times each year for a very specific job. Well, the floor space became more valuable than the lathe so I brought that lathe to my small home shop.
So, no 3 phase power at home.
Still has 1 HP, 208VAC, 3 phase, 204 frame motor that runs fine.
Question and discussion:
What to use for power at home...
Static phase converter like Temco XS3
Rotary Phase converter like American Rotary AR3
VFD like Lapond on Amazon
Get a 1 phase 220V motor
Other, comments please
