It has to do with the capacitor starter on the single phase motor. There is a cetrifugal switch in the it that opens when the motor reaches speed. When you bogg a single phase motor the switch will chatter and cause irattic pulses through the windings therefor loosing power. A 3 phase motor...

It should be fine, Just keep an "eye" on the mills motor. let it run for a while and keep checking it to see if it starts to get abnormally hot. There is a chart somewhere for the correct size, but I dont remeber where.

You do loose a little (rotory dosnt give %100 either) But I have found that I rarely ever need the full amount of power. If I do I just start my grinder (3hp 3phase) and let it run while using the mill, Power restored. The more motors running on the same line the smoother the current.

Yes, By far the static is the easiest and dosnt use as much power to run. For anything under 4hp I would ONLY have a static. Keep in mind too gimp, dont buy one that is to big. It WILL overheat the machines motor and cause harm to it. Size it right and you will love it.

Not quite, For a small convertor ( your not gonna need a big one) You do not need a pony motor (the pony is used for starting LARGE convertors). Using an old motor you will be useing both poles of your wall current to energize 2 outside poles of the 3 poles in the motor. Capacitors are wired to...

Looks good, I was picturing something a lil different. There is a guy that deals in used machines and tools. Ill give him a call and see if he has any.
