I have just about finished up cleaning and repainting my VN no. 16 mill. Because it is just a home shop machine, and I won't be machining anything to aggressive, I decided to use a static phase converter. However, there is one 2HP motor for the main driving, but there is a small motor that drives the table power feed. Reading up on static phase converters, I understand that a phase converter is required for every individual machine. Would that apply here for two motors? It still all goes to one receptacle. Also, I know a static phase converter only supplies single phase and just starts the motor with capacitors, but there is a whole electrical panel and switches that control speed of the power feed motor. Will the static phase converter work for all of that too? I haven't bought the converter yet, by the way.
I have a separate question about getting 220, but I will make another thread.
Thanks,
Matthew
