who knows phases and power?

so I bought a mill............
Extra-large worktable.
Hinged belt cover allows fast speed changing.
Type: Combined Drill & Milling Machines Bench Type
Table Size & Travel: 28-3/4 x 8-1/4", 7"
Motor: 2 HP, 220V, 3Ph
Head: N/A
Spindle Taper: R8
1- 1/2 Albrecht keyless chuck
10- R8 collets with rack (1/8,3/16,1/4,5/16,3/8,7/16,9/16,1/2,5/8,3/4)
1-hold down set
1-6" slide clamp mill vise
1-Mill stand (model #26661052)
1-Mill/Drill combination machine (model # 26660630)
1-can of touch up paint
1-manual
my place to put it is only 220 single phase so I am going to get one of these
Anderson Phase Converters
or is there a cheaper/better way I was thinking the 10HP inverter because I have a large 4hp 3 phase compressor and looking at a 3 phase lathe
Ideas?

I would look a phase converting VFD like the Toshiba VF series. These take up a lot less shop space and have become very reliable. We use drives like these on our single phase compressor locations to power instrument air compressor and glycol pumps both of which are very important to the process so reliable must be used. As well they should be price comparable.

If you're going to start upgrading your shop with a lot of these machines, your best bet would be to look into getting 3 phase service ran to your shop.
Constantly buying and hooking up converters every time you get a new machine and exceed the rating of your current converter would probably equal up the start up cost of getting 3 phase service.

Even if he's not in a commercial or industrial zone... all it takes is a transformer bank and one more wire ran into the building.
Depends on how they do it... he can either get a 240Y/139 service.. 208Y/120 service.. or 240/120 high leg delta
