New Shaper Help??

[Paul B. Cresti]

Looking to add a new shaper to my shop. I will not go into how I narrowed it down to these. So, does anyone use any of these or know of anyone using them? Rojek FSN-300a 6hp 3ph, Minimax T50N 6.6hp 3ph, or Rulong SS-512TS 7-1/2hp 3ph (imported by Leneave Supply & Bridgewood). I will also be buying a phase converter, any input on Kay Industries or TEMCO?
Thanks

Since you are looking at pretty high-end stuff, I thought you might find the above interesting if you haven't already seen it. SCM is the parent company to MiniMax.

Have you contacted your local utility company to see if they might supply you 3-phase to your home/shop? It could be really simple ($s) or a huge pita ($$$$s).

Good luck on your eventual choice...I don't think you could go wrong with any of those brands.

The MiniMax stuff is good. A lot of folk's on the Felder forum use the Kay Industries phase converters and they are very happy with them - well made, conservative ratings, and a decent company to do business with.
