Hey guys I'm need some advise. If you guys could give me some help here I'd appreciate it. I'm trying to get my shop set up, I've got it pretty much done but not quite. My knife shop has plenty of 110 & 220, my engraving room has both as well, I don't have anything hooked up on 220 in the engraving room but pulled a line in there for future unseen needs. I've got another area where I'm going to set up my forging & welding area along with my Logan 1920-1 lathe. My Logan has a 3 phase 3/4 1725 motor on it, I have a 6" x 18" surfacing machine that needs rebuilding but the motor is fine & it's 3 phase, 25lb Little Giant trip hammer that has 3 phase, I'm also wanting a Bridgeport Knee Mill or clone & Lord willing I'll have one one of these days, I have 3 phase to one of the meters on the shop, just needs the electric co. to put in a fuse & then I have to wire it into the shop run ample wire & hook it all up. All of that said here's the question, Since I have access to 3 phase would I be better off to go that way or buy VFDS controllers for each of them & go that way? Thank all of you for your time on this question.
