AMEN! The availability of relatively inexpensive VFD has opened up the market for 3 phase equipment to be used by the homeowner. At work I am not itching to replace any of the old DC controlled variable speed motor drives we have as long as they are working. However all the Reeves variable...

I believe my MEP-003 would start that load anyway. It might drag down for a few seconds but it would start. Not sure why an 803 wouldn't do the same. But if the power line power can supply 230V 1Ph at 30A or more then the VFD should run this saw for a lot less cost and less messing around.

Yes and perhaps it will run on the line power to replace the rotary phase converter.

You will be able to pull 30A from the single phase and that equates to 10 HP at 230V 3ph. I use VFD on stamping presses and they do not pull more then FLA at start-up. But the saw will turn on a little bit more slowly and ramp up to speed. This can be configured in the settings.
