I have a Fobco pillar drill that I'm trying to get working in a home setup (single phase). The motor 1HP, dual phase (415/230) and has a terminal block (pictured below) which boggles my mind. The 3 input wires are connected to 1L1, 3L2 and 5L3 respectively. I'm not sure what options are available. I've heard that I might be able to wire a capacitor across two of the windings to create a static inverter. Any thoughts?
