We don't do ANYTHING half-way around here, including a thread-jack!

It's not in our nature to do half way. We can't get away wig half way in this field. It could kill someone. Or leave someone unoffended or leave someone who hasn't laughed enough

I was gonna say, with Nail around no thread is safe and no thread will ever get back on the rails after he so graciously derailed it.
if there's a welder, there's a way

Fair enough. Sorry Jeff-I guess you are Larry.

As for the packages-I have one question. Why did you need a phase converter? I mean it may be nice but was it necessary? Does your new welder need it or did you figure-eh why not? Just curious.

The Zip miter bandsaw is 3ph, pretty much all of them are except for the Baileigh. I have some other potential uses for 3ph powered machines so it was time to pick up a RPC.

What version of converter did you get? Just curious to know how big of stuff it can run?

5HP, technically it will run 3 phase motors up to 2.5HP e.g. half the RPC rating. But that is only a loose guide. If the 3 phase machine starts easily, it might run a 3-4 HP 3 phase motor. A hard starting machine like a dust collector maybe max 2.5 HP.

American Rotary, one of the more expensive brands but the only one approved by Haas to run their CNC machines. I took a bunch of pictures after unpacking everything this evening and will be posting them in the next day or two.
