Rick Ross came over today to rewire my new 3 phase
converter box to my mill... it had been down for some time. I
sure apprecate that Rick... I have a few things that
I needed to mill up... so I'll be on the mill for the
next few days
Thanks again Rick 
What kind of converter are you using?
Many people don't realize that converters don't make sense any more in today's day and age. You should be using VFDs (variable speed drive).
The benefit is single phase in, 3 phase out, variable speed and if you get the right one dynamic braking - - sure is nice to have the mill stop spinning in 1 revolution without mechanical assistance. They can be had cheap on ebay.
I have 4 vfds in my new shop.
