    1 Phase Motor on 3 Phase Power?

    Now why didn't I think of that? I'll go pick up a new 3 phase motor. Sounds like that's the reason the bearing might have gone, and it should also solve my voltage problem. Thanks to all replies. I can save the single phase motor for use at home on my planer.

    1 Phase Motor on 3 Phase Power?
