My son loves making sawdust and is always looking for good buys on tools. He scours Craigslist, etc and finds incredible prices on used stationary tools that are 3 phase. For instance, he found a 52" double belt sander for $3000, when a 16" open ended single phase is around the same price. Well, he doesn't have 3 phase in his garage and keeps talking about getting a phase converter. I know nothing about them other than they cost a bunch.

Question is: should that be an option for him to explore? or should he just keep looking for a score on single phase equipment?
