Chris,The answer is not exactly, today there are a number of low cost variablefrequency solid state single phase to three phase converters on the market.I run a small metal lathe with such a beast. For example if I'm drillingand reaming a number of parts using the three jaw chuck and a drill chuck inthe tailstock. Being very lazy I don't like to change belt pulleys all thetime. So now I can change speed with the twist of a knob. Three phasemotors are a little cheaper than single phase and I got the converter fromACTECH www.actechdrives.com is their web site. I have no connection withthis company and if anyone is interested in knowing more please contact meoff line.Bob Bailey> Three phase?
