What? No Floor mill and Lathe? Those are the two most essential
tools you can have. A Bridgeport with about a 4' bed and about a 10"
Clausing (sp?) Of course I would need the acessories.

That's all I ask. Just two tools, unlike some of the more selfish who
have a big long lists. :-))

Gotta source for 660V 3 phase?

660? Where on earth are you seeing 660 three phase motors? We didn't
use motors that big to run 15 X 15 compressors. Those were three
phase 440 "Y" I think. The drive wheels were something like 7 or 8
feet in diameter while the ones on the motors were less than a foot
across. (8" I think) I think they used about a dozen V-belts.

I don't think I could afford the 660 VAC motor to build a phase
converter:-))
