What would be the easiest way to convert it? Or would a phase converter be cheaper?easy to convert and would be worth it, those are great jointers.
Get a 1.5 HP single phase 56 frame TEFC 3450 rpm motor and toss the valueless 3-phase motor. The very expensive LVC starter will need a couple of (likely) GE heaters for the new amp draw. The transformer taps are likely to be on the 240 volt setting so no modifications there. Wire in the motor ignoring one of the three lines (usually the red). Leave the existing unused heater as is. For a single phase transfer, that jointer is relatively easy. I've got photos so if you get the machine, I can help with some of the fussy details.What would be the easiest way to convert it? Or would a phase converter be cheaper?
