Dave H (MI), I thought I would share a picture of my three phase converter setup with you. It's about the cheapest way to go, haven't had any problems whatsoever, can use the machines just as you would plugged in to regular power company three phase. Just use a big enough idler motor so that your machine will use only about 75% of the hp rating of idler motor. (7.5hp idler to run 5hp machine). Your breaker will need to be rated for about 25% more amps than the full load amps of the idler motor if I remember right.
My pony motor has it's own switch I can turn on/off right on the motor. Just got lucky that way. I run the pony motor off an extension cord.

If you were closer I have a motor I would give you to use as an idler. I think it is 10hp, would need at least 60amp breaker to run, I only had 50A available so couldn't use it.
