[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1686686, member: 27307"] Fortunately I have 3-phase power available for all my machines in one part of the country. Here though, EMC wanted $35,000 just to bring the lines from the pole down to our shop for 3-phase. So we opted for a phase converter instead. :( I'll bet that 60 HP was a little tiny bit expensive!:eek: Sales and package discounts are the only saving grace for machines like the TL-1 and the TL-2. It was cheaper for me to buy 2 new machines with tooling packages, have them built then delivered for less than the used market was offering.:rolleyes::( And don't be fooled either, tooling packages are often just enough to get you started with the basics. Then comes the expensive stuff! Do your homework and get some advice from someone who understands and knows the ins and outs.;) [/QUOTE]
