    Home Workshop
    I am setting up a small home workshop and I would like some advice on whether to use 3 phase or single phase supply. I have a lathe, milling machine and a pillar drill which are all 3 phase. I can either use an inverter from the existing single phase or have 3 phase connected (both about the same cost). Any ideas please? Thanks

    The operation and efficiency of your 3 phase equipment will be much better with a true 3 phase service, if available.
