I purchased and brought home the Northwood shaper and Jet 20" planer mentioned in previous posts. All ended up more than I wanted to pay but both machines are improvements over what I already have. The only real disappointment so far is the motor for the power feeder ended up being 3 phase. The motors on the machines themselves are single phase. I just assumed the power feeder was the same. It seems I have 3 remedies; 1) replace the motor, 2) use a VFD or 3) power it with 3 phase supplied by a rotary phase converter that exists on the other side of my shop. Any suggestions? The 3rd option, although appearing to be an easy fix would be a pain because of the distance from the source of power and having to turn on the RPC just to operate a 1 hp motor.
