hello fellow wood workers. Last year I picked up an early 70's powermatic 60 8" jointer. It has a leeson 1.5 HP 3 phase motor. As i am just starting the renovation process, id like to hear as many thoughts and opinions on what i should do about the motor. I obviously cannot get 3 phase power in my house, so do you think I would be better off spending money on a new, single phase motor, or on a VFD or RPC? I will not be using any other equipment with a 3 phase motor, so would a VFD better serve me (between the vfd and rpc)? Any single phase motors i have found have been upwards of $250, and even $350 for a leeson. Im pretty sure i could get, or build a VFD for cheaper than that, but do not have any info to back up that thought. If the vfd is the best, and cheapest option, how do these units work? Does the 3 phase motor plug into the vfd, and then the vfd into the wall outlet? and would it have to be a 220 line? If anybody has some insight, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!!
