Yep, three phase is good. I've got one small rotary converter right now running my lathe, a drill press, and a home made pedistal grinder. Three phase is one of the things that keeps the prices down on stuff like that. Did you see that old Johnson that sold the other day? It was like an 18x24 with power down feed, etc, etc. Weighed in around 1700 lbs. It was alot closer and they had a forklift on site to load it. I lost out on it because I cheaped out and only bid $250 instead of $300 like I started to do.
Look a few months back. I got a Supermax Mill, 5 HP vertical and horizontal spindles, all of the table feeds are powered, plus some tooling, and set up with the slides for am Accurite DRO from the NC surplus site. Went in with a friend and got it for $1600 which was less than every one of the old step pulley Bridgeports were going for. Another $750 for the display for the DRO and I'm setting on a machine that, everywhere else, was selling for $7000 to $10000. Funny thing I had called the surplus site and they said they had a lift to load it but I took my service truck anyway. Got there and the largest lift they had was a small one that would do maybe 4000lbs...the mill weighted in closer to 7000. Needless to say I was glad I had my truck and my crane with me.....
That said, the government sites are great, it's dealing with the places they have the stuff setting, the problems getting stuff loaded, etc, etc. that is the only real problem I've seen with them so far.
