Tks Tom. 8 hp is the converter itself.

After much-needed research, I am decided on building a rotary phase converter to allow me run my dual motor planer thicknesser and allow me add 3 phase machines in the future. Any advice on how to proceed with the build in terms of plans, sources for components (capacitors and switches etc?)...

Here's the other

Here's one of the motors

Thanks guys. Need to do more reading. I may have no option but a digital phase converter

I've just purchased a used 3 phase Sedgwick MB310 Planer Thicknesser. I'll be running it on single phase supply, so looking at a rotary converter, as this thing has two motors. However, I'm not sure of the motor details (I'm collecting the machine next weekend) and stupidly I didn't think of...

Any recommendations on a best value rotary converter?

Went to see it just now. So the bad news; 2 motors, and the cast iron table has a nick just adjacent to the cutter; although its small, perhaps 2 mm diameter. Good news ( I think) I bought it for 800 euro

Starting to get worried. Thought this might be straightforward

Thanks. What should I look out for that isn't easily fixed?

This is the exact one I'm looking at tomorrow. Asking 850euro, but I hope to get it for 700 https://www.donedeal.ie/tools-for-sale/ ... r/20577865

Thanks. It's this scheppach or a three phase sedgewick mbt for a little more when the inverter cost is factored. Perhaps I should be going for the sedgewick in the confidence that it's less likely to have or develop issues in the future

Hi all Looking at a used Scheppach hms 3200 ci planer thicknesser tomorrow Can anybody advise me on what to look out for before purchasing. Asking price is a grand ( Euro )

Looking at a sedgewick m b 310 but not purchased yet.

Thanks . Any recommendations on a converter or what to consider when purchasing one?

Just wondering if running a 3phase machine is ok with a converter where I only have a single phase supply. ?

I wouldn't say that, I guess its hand planes really that are the problem for me. Never had much luck with them!

apologies for the sloppy title!

hi all Starting out (again) and building a new workspace in my shed. I am interested in getting quality tools where they matter most, and to replace some of the cheap stuff I have, and have a preference for power tools over hand tools (I know, some purists may disagree but I am not the most...

Thanks all. Will go for a Mafell.
