Found this baldor grinder that I wanted so I bid $85 on and ended up winning it, http://www.publicsurplus.com/sms/auction/view?auc=1365499 while the auction was ticking away I looked at other items at the location and thought what the heck, I'll also bid $40 on this

Now I have both and need to figure out how the heck I'm going to move and place the PHS....

Guess over all I shouldn't be complaining seeing that I have about $125 in both of them!
 
I'm from Walkersville originally... I wish I knew about those auctions!

Its hit and miss, my buddy bought a nice Rockwell grinder on a cast stand for $150 but the motor failed shortly after, another $150 but it will last a lifetime.

Honestly if I can't swap out the three phase motor with a single phase I'll probably sell the PHS and try to make a few bucks to throw into the money pit!
 
much easier and cheaper nowadays to get a phase converter going

It thought about the phase converter but I only have 100A service at the barn and won't be able to run my MigMaster 250 and this or if I'm using the small compressor and my plasma cutter. It would be cool to have it on 120 and just let it do it's thing when I'm tacking up other stuff without having to sit there and watch it. I do have several motors that I could use for a phase conversion but I'm hoping I have one that will just bolt in.
 
you can do 120V 1 phase to 3 phase with a solid state type converter and have speed control too for a bit over $100 I think.

Did not know that, thanks!
