Scott: What type of phase converter? Rotary or static?
I used a static phase converter for a while on my bridgeport and most of
the time it wouldn't start the motor. It was also used to run my surface
grinder. It would start the grinder. What I had to do was start the
surface grinder and let it run while I was using the Bridgeport.I
eventually got a rotary phase converter and that has worked great for
years.Even quick reverses are no problem. With the static converter, I
had to make sure the spindle was stopped before reversing. I have a new
VFD sitting here that I need to hook up and give a try. That may be a
good way to go.Actually, for $350 that would have been the best way to
go. Carey
