Can you tell from the photo whether this lathe is 3-phase?Â* I am
guessing yes, but I'm not sure.

Thanks,

My gut tells me 120 volt, I don't think I have ever seen an outside 240
volt 3 phase outlet like the one it is plugged into.



But maybe that is all in doors with great lighting. Then all bets are
off. ;~)


I'm guessing that's indoors. Nothing in that photo (the wooden floor, the
receptacle box, the duct tape on the ducts, the slat wall, even the lathe
itself) looks like it's spent any time outdoors.

Granted, I live where we actually have "weather" so I'm biased.
