[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1634233, member: 93138"] FWIW I have a rotary phase converter that runs several machines, one at a time. It is a bit noisy, but I see that as a good thing as I don't run it any more than I have to. Keeps the power bill in check. VFD's weren't really an option when I bought it. Would I buy it again? I don't know. For what it would cost now I could likely put a VFD on each machine, but not all of them need that functionality. Maybe I'm out of touch, but seeing the Grizzly name mentioned with the likes of Monarch, Clausing, Hardinge, etc. is appalling. For a second Op or home hobby machine, maybe. For a front line, high precision machine doesn't seem like a good choice. For the OP's stated budget I'd not be considering them at all. [/QUOTE]
