Dan I run a 3 phase mill on a Variable Frequency Drive.....and love
it....you get infinite speed control with full torque. You should however
provide a supplementary cooling fan for when you are running on a slow speed
since the fan built into the motor won't flow enough air. If you are not
happy with the static phase converter, investigate a VFD. Everybody I know
who uses them wouldn't do it any other way.

Subject: [Shop-talk] 3 phase and phase converters
I recently purchased a small Bridgeport Milling machine. It draws 3.3 amps
at 480 v(three phase). I also purchase a used static phase converter. Has
anyone ran a milling machine this way or has experience hooking up one using
a phase converter. You help is appreciated. Dan
