[QUOTE="Robin Spark, post: 77743, member: 5444"] Can anyone help on this please, Brother in law has just phoned me, he wants to buy a three phase Wilson Lathe off Ebay and apparently it should be able to run on single phase and the seller told him he needs a VFD. Now I am not 100% sure but am thinking that the VFD is just a Variable frequency Drive which will just control the speed, so possibly the seller is confused and actually has three phase supply. So does anyone know a way (apart from DNO upgrading supply) that will be easy and cheap to get this lathe working? [/QUOTE]
