Found a huge plate of 4140 I may try a 4x90 or 6x90 with. To be continued

See I'm wondering about something like that or a 2x72 vandelay type build that is more like a 4x90.

Anyone build a belt grinder bigger than a 2x72?

Yeah sorry replying to the wrong thread. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/adding-three-phase-sub-panel-to-suburban-garage.525166/#post-10432975

That makes sense. I'll update the post when my toe Jack gets here and I'm able to get the lathe on the pallet jack to moving on to the drop deck. Moving these things are real pain in the ***

Yeah that's 240 (not 480) and overestimated by 20%. $100 worth of wire isn't really going to affect me. But going bare minimum might if a future upgrade exceeds installed conductors. Definitely trying to stay away from 480 so those numbers don't apply to me. It's from chat gpt, based off what...

Yeah I tried to look for it. Unless they removed nameplate and put it on the lathe , it's inaccessible without removing the motor. I see fairly cheap 7.5 horsepower three phase Motors near me. I'd rather swap the motor than mess around with Transformers. Is a motor swap fairly straightforward...

So that's what I need? Is Transformer best way to accomplish this?

Does this look right to you electrical guys? We're adding 20% like image number two

That plug tell you anything?

Went to pick up the bridge for today and tried to find the motor name plate but couldn't. I did snap a picture of the original plug. Looks to me like it's got a neutral, but honestly not sure. Is that 4 wire w ground? If so, can I just rewire the motor? If not, maybe change the motor? Definitely...

I don't have it yet, going off of pictures and info on other forms

So you don't think it would require a neutral? I haven't picked up the lathe yet, I'm going off information online to try to be as prepared as I can to get it set up. It's an osama Sr 1760g / shen jay / victor

Finding out motor is 220 3ph. That means I need wye correct?

80 amp feed to the existing panel. Biggest machine is a 7.5 hp lathe Pp has cheaper options although I probably will spring for their more expensive model. I never regret going bigger, unless it's not going big enough. Figure I'll hook up a few 3ph to 3ph vfds eventually. I'd rather spend more...
