    Putting the cart before the horse…..Three Phase power question???????

    So you are using "Method 1” in their description? METHOD #1 Using the Phase-A-Matic™ Static Converter only will produce approximately 2/3 normal HP.* This method is inexpensive, the most popular, provides excellent results on most machines tools and numerous other uses. Motor speed is not...

    Putting the cart before the horse…..Three Phase power question???????

    WOW guys, thanks for all the info. Looks like I have some “homework” to do. So this whole “power tapping” thing looks to me like it would "hurt the machine”. From a beginners perpsctive, doesn’t that "instant reversing" damage the gears of the machine? I have seen lots of videos of people...

    Putting the cart before the horse…..Three Phase power question???????

    OK fellas, I finally “stepped up to the plate” and bought a Bridgeport. I still have to get it in the basement, but when I do, I have to power it; So I am trying to “think ahead” a little and formulate a “plan of attack”. Like most people, I obviously have single phase power, so I am going to...

    Recommendations for Chain and Binders or Other Tie Downs for Tractor Transport.

    I have the binders pictured on the right for my 2501. They work great, but as pointed out above, I think I would go with straps for a “one time” move. I transport mine on a “quasi-frequent basis” so I chose to switch to chains and binders, but in all honesty I never had a problem/concerns with...
