Re: CNC on home built phase converter

Scott,

I know of two shops that are running multiple large CNC's from home
made converters.

I run a 5hp mill and a 5hp lathe from converters I put together.

A few things you may want to be careful with.....Make sure the
controller isn't fed by the "wild" leg. There may be some issues if
the spindle motor is driven by a VFD, I've heard mixed reviews on
running VFD's from generated 3 phase.
