I have a SB 10K, 3Ø, running through a static convertor. I have a Rockwell knee mill, also 3Ø, on the way. The static is too small for the mill.
I know I'm going to need another phase convertor to run the mill. Unless I go for a VCD.
Or should I go for a rotary, big enough to run the mill, and the lathe, and try to get a few bucks back on the static? (They won't be running at the same time.) Which machine benefits more from the variable speed of a VCD?
But if I do that, I'll have to wait even longer for a DRO, which is what I REALLY want.
Opinions? Commiseration? A little sympathy?
I have spent (way) too much money this month...
