[QUOTE="jarnold37, post: 1631970, member: 29241"] A thing to consider would be a machine that is single phase or 3 phase. It seems that the 14-40 size is the breaking point for that. Then the reply you get is no problem to get 3 ph electric. However, I was told from the manufacturer to only use Arco rotary phase. by the time up and running about 4000 more dollars. Now I think someday will have to fix or repair and "search" for another electrician and purchase another phase converter. I wanted a lathe that had a headstock that would allow 1.5" barrels through headstock. That is another "breaking point" if you want that size spindle. Also, with a larger headstock most barrels will not be long enough to reach a spider at end of spindle. I like the lathe- Nardini 14-40-but might have purchased smaller if would have known about these things. Don't know but maybe a VFD would be better and easier than a phase converter [/QUOTE]
