Thanks for the advice from those what 'been-there-and-done-that.'

The caution that I would be unable to run both motors at the same
time from a single vfd was the deciding factor as the lathe
motor/leadscrew is what provides the table feed for the mill on
an Emco compact 10.

A rotary phase converter it is.

Off to check the local OK Electric shops [every town seems to
have an OK Electric -- is this some sort of chain or just a
catchy name like Acme?] for used motors and caps.

Thanks for the offer of a free 2HP/3ph motor and caps. Any idea
what these weight, and are these regular UPS freight?
