What do you guys think of this one (does it look like 3-phase?) I sent

Probably not a 3 phase, it is a small jointer. My assumption is that one
used in a 3 phase industrial environment would be sized to handle larger
stock.


I wouldn't rely on this rule of thumb... the middle school near me, built in
the late 1960s, has 3 phase and runs even 6" jointers on it. I also noticed
a local Craigs List posting for a new 1/3 HP 3 phase motor... I got the
impression it was for a blower.
