Hi All!
Thanks for the great forum. I am relatively new to the forum, and have posted only once prior, but read almost daily... it's somewhat addicting!
Was hoping someone could help me. I just picked up a DJ-20 jointer for $500... with new HTC mobile base. I couldn't pass it up, even knowing that I may not be able to run it right away, as I don't have 3 phase power supply.
At any rate, I am confused about the power and info on the placards. The placard on the back of the sled shows 1 phase 230 volt. The placard on the cabinet shows 3 phase 200 volt. There is a "Three Phase Motor Starter" on the side of the cabinet where the power cord is attached.
What are my options with power? I have read so many different things online in the last 2 days that my head is spinning. Plus, the placards have really thrown me off. Do I need a phase converter to get 3 phase power to the machine? Or does the motor starter work on 220 1 phase?
Please help!!!!!
