Tony or Ken could you maybe post something on how to make a phase converter out of a electric motor(wiring,HP and stuff).Did it with and old timer many years ago,but he just passed away (at the age of 93 he was still workin) and i have no one to teach me all the wonderful stuff he had taught me.

I have a small box style one to run my bridgeport but am buying a bigger 3 phase lathe and the motor to change it over would be real expensive.I only need about half power for it so the converter would work ok.(no weldor stuff) Thanks
