They certainly LOOK cool - I'm studying the manual right now. Neatest
of all is the fact that they claim to run a 220v 3phase motor on 110v
single phase at full power !
1/2HP is a little small for my lathe, but it should be OK for my little
Burke horizontal mill. Plus, the mill is TUCKED into a corner in such a
way that I just can't get to the motor to change the belts !
