Guys,

For the purpose of my business, I will need a CNC that can cut full 8x4 sheets

I have been looking at the blue elephant 1325 with a 3KW spindle rated at 3 phase. I understand that there is a VFD fitted in the control box. If these VFDs take single phase and convert it to three phase, for what reason does the machine need 3 phase? Possibly the axis motors although I don't think this particular model comes with servo motors. It does not have a vacuum bed or extraction.

This poses a challenge as I only have single phase at my house.

I have done lots or reading around the subject but just not grasping the theory behind it.

Looking for some advice. Have done lots of reading about static, rotary phase converters.

TIA
