JB,
I'd say probably, errr welll, make that maybe. Do this: Get in touch with
Phase-A-Matic, large maker of static phase converters. Be prepared to
give them the name plate information from the motor.

Hi Guys,

Once again I am here with my hat in hand humbly requesting your
assistance. As some of you know, I am in the process of purchasing a
Colchester Circa 1960's MK 1 1/2 lathe. It has a two speed 5hp 3 phase
motor. Will I be able to run it successfully on a static phase
converter?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Regards.

Joe...
