Nice build! I don't know if anybody mentioned it yet, but you guys were taking about phase converters for your heavy home machinery...

Don't do it.

Get yourselves some VFD's (Variable Frequency Drive)... WAAAAAYYYYYY easier to work with, motors run cooler and you can do spindle speed adjusts electronically. I use one on my mill, and one on my lathe to run 220 3-phase off of 220 single phase.

You will NEVER look at a phase converter again.

Thanks Faux! I know I didn't say it but when referring to phase converters I was thinking VFD. Which if I would stop ordering Lambo parts I'd have ordered one by know!  ::wave
I met a man with a dollar, we exchanged dollars and we still had a dollar. I met a man with an idea, we exchanged ideas and now we both have two ideas!!!

Autopro, Would you prefer a smaller insert like so, or an entire airbag like mine???

Wow you can't even tell the difference. Please make me one, I hate the way my steering wheel is coming out and this would definitely make it much better.

Had to do the same thing on my new CNC. Phoenix Phase Converter had the best deal on a 20HP phase converter but it was still almost $1,500 delivered.

 It's hard to tell from pictures, but I think that the lower A-arms have to be reinforced a bit. The spring and sway bar's toe link connect to the middle of the lower A-arm, hence the latter will be exposed to increased impact forces trying to bend it. Just my .02

Have you tried American Rotary? You can use 3 phase machines on a single phase.
