Running 3ph tools....the cost.....
John Stevenson:
My big TOS lathe has a 10 hp 3 phase motor on it running off genuine 3 phase, Most of the time it's ticking over just licking bit out of big pieces but very occasionally it has to grunt.
A while ago I was belting a 3 1/2" pilot drill though a lump of 5" bar from a dead start just to get a hole for the boring bar to fit and this bastich just upp and stalled.
What ?? all that power and the bastich has the nerve to stop on me. Felt like writing to the women's column and asking "Dear aunty Jane do I need more horsepower or is the drill blunt ?"
Truth of the matter was the 6,878 drive belts were slack....................

Words mean a notin....... :)
ps, I'm not really looking for a reply, but 10hp for such a small drill...... :lol:
