I bought an old Hurco SM1 mill with a 3hp 3 phase motor and need to get it running on single phase. Talked to a few people and 1 says a static converter will work fine, another says that won't work and I need to go with what he called a rotor or something like that (similar to a vfd from what I understood). Can't really afford anything other than the static converter because I know the mill needs a belt and possibly new spindle bearings. Anyone have one of these running on a static phase converter? It's either a static or I will probably just have to sell it. Thanks!
