Hi, thanks for all the comment , it is sort of helpful.  My local supplier SSE (Scotttish Hydro) have a ready reckoner for 3 Phase supplies. It prices my job at £1700+..The 3 phase line (post step down transformer) crosses my land and is 35m from the workshop.  So all I need is a pole and a 6m...

Hi in an earlier post on my Emcomat 17S I got a lot of excellent advice and help, Thanks!  I have now got to the next step - getting it to work.  A summary, the lathe is modern and is all wired internally and I do not wish to alter any of the machines wiring. It has a plug for 415V 3 phase...

Hi, First Happy New Year. Second a question.  The lathe is a reallly nice machine but was rather unloved, so before use I am returning it to ex-works condition.  The first job was to remove the integral splash back since somebody had tried to secure the 800Kg Lathe by taking the cargo tie over...
