RPC Panel -- Which manufacturer?

I'm in the process of getting a CNC knee mill up and running and I'm in need of a RPC. I just picked up a used 10hp 3ph motor to use as an idler and need to buy a RPC Panel to compliment it.

Is there a consensus on who is the best manufacturer of phase converters/panels? I realize they're pretty simple but I don't want to throw money away on something cobbled together. I'm willing to pay a little more for good support and a quality product.

I bought one from smith electric motorworks about 12 years back to use with my 15 hp motor and it works great. Super helpful on helping to get it balanced, which was not much. Also have the make and model of your RPC motor handy if you call as well as motor(s) on your new machine.

Just got a quote from them. ~$400 + shipping.

Also looking at North American Phase Converters, Phoenix Phase Converters, American Rotary, and Phase Converter USA. Does anyone have any experience with any of these?

I recently built an RPC, using a used 10 hp motor, and a panel from American Rotary. It seems to work perfectly, although it only has a few hours on it. For some reason, it was a bit cheaper on ebay than from their website, even though they were the vendor on ebay. It's a nice clean unit, well laid-out. The instructions are clear. They use a DIN rail to mount some of the components, and there was enough room for me to mount a DIN-rail mounted circuit breaker, keeping everything inside the one panel. I found the DIN breaker on ebay, and it was whole lot cheaper than buying a separate 3 ph panel and breaker.

I have several 3 ph machines- a B'Port mill, a surface grinder, and a 12" pedestal grinder. I like being able to instant reverse the mill when tapping, something the VFD I tried wouldn't do very well.

The only thing I don't like (and I'm really nit-picking) is the depth of the cabinet. I would have loved something that would fit into the wall like a breaker panel, but with all of the huge capacitors, that's not possible. I recessed it about 2", which is the deepest I could go and still put the screws in the cover, but that still left the wires coming in and out of the unit proud of the wall a bit. My 3 ph output is run through the wall (Romex) to a couple ceiling drops with twist-lock plugs. I think most people just run a cord out to the machine. If you're just going to run the one machine, mount your RPC near it.
