I bought a 5hp 3phase bandsaw but only have single phase power. I've been looking at VFD's as an option to run it and can find cheaper ones up to 3hp (say $300) but have only been able to find really expensive ones rated for 5hp (more than double the price of a 3hp unit). Anybody know where I can find a VFD rated for 5hp at an attractive price???
Otherwise, I may be shopping for a new motor......
Thanks in advance.
