I've got uses for this August but I don't know what a guy would do with the metal chips. I don't think I will generate enough to justify recycling them

Nice size for what you will probably be doing. Most people want smaller ones so the big ones usually aren’t wanted. It’s amazing what you all got. But you can build very small accurate parts with a huge lathe. I did when I made adapter bushings to put crank together for my 1926 Harley years ago but yes, a smaller lathe would have been handier.

Technically that isn’t a 3 phase converter. It is a VFD(variable frequency drive). That said, if it is the correct VFD it can run a 220v three phase motor off of 220v single phase. If that mill is wired for 440v, it isn’t going to work with that VFD. Too much missing info to provide much help. I run VFD’s on a couple machines in my machine shop. When sized correctly for the motor and wired correctly, they can run 3ph equipment quite adequately. However, the best way to run the 3ph equipment is a rotary phase converter.

Do you know how many HP the motor is on your Lathe, The big one. You can build a converter that makes single phase to three phase. There are many videos of people doing it here on youtube. You can also buy single phase to three phase converters. you had a great haul with those trips. I am happy for you. As always I liked and shared. All my very best.

My son bid on a Baileah horizontal band saw that will cut up to 18" diameter metal. Nobody else bid and he got it for a dollar. He just picked it up and it is a 2,000 lb monster. There are still good deals out there.

@@tractorrescueranch3682 that is not a phase converter, it is a variable frequency drive.....check my other comment regarding it......Paul....you sure got a great amount of tooling, that is the expensive part of any lathe...a VFD is not that expensive if you need a new one.....just a few hundred dollars, you will spend far more on a single phase motor that fits the machine and the labor to make it fit could be a lot of work..... they also make static phase converters, but a VFD allows you to change speeds and directions digitally, very handy instead of throwing levers.....you can not do this with a phase converter......Paul
