Well its now offical. I have a working 3 ph shop. I got it up and running this weekend. man I finaly got to hear and run the Oliver . Man what a differance between the direct drive and belt drive. I still have to crown the tires for the bandsaw but thats my next venture. The mill works fine and so dose the SB.

Very Cool.

How do they bill three phase down there? I have heard stories that it is not based on actual usage but on peak usage- kinda drives the bill up. Any knowledge or will you find out with your first bill?

Hi Pete,
Nope I get billed by the month. I pay $8 a month for the rent on the meter, and the amount of power I actually use. I am on TVA power and it isn't that bad. It bills in 3 stages. Hobbt, bussiness, and industrial. Mine is classafied as hobby.
