Re: Conundrum? Decent benchtop surface grinder

Yup, 155v. Everything is a little bigger here in Wisconsin.

So figure another $200 for a VFD to power it. You do not want to
consider replacing the three phase motor with a single phase one as it's
been reported that they don't run as smoothly as three phase and will
create defects in the ground finish.
