    Question bridgeport running 220 volt ac motor

    hi i have been looking inot bridgeport for hobby shop use and am still looking into three phase converters, well long story short i found this guy who sells a mount to put a 220 volt motor on your bridgeport. would this be a bad idea i dont see anyone doing this on the forumn. is it because of less torque or power? for light milling would a 1-2 hp motor on a j head 1hp bridgport be sufficient, shure would seem to make things easier. i know a 3 phase 1hp is alot stronger than a 1 phase 1hp. anyway anyones thoughts would be appreciated thanks
