3 phase grinder

[TILLER]

I found some 3 phase burr king 960 grinders on craigslist. Question is can I run these on my standard house power? I've been trying to research it, but the electrical side of things doesn't make sense to me. It looks like I could buy a vfd and plug it into my regular wall outlet and then plug the three phase motor into it, but I don't know.

What would be the most straight forward way to do this? Or is it even worth it?

There's some relevant discussion regarding powering a surface grinder at http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=818466

yep for these buy a decent vfd and wire everthing up plug em in and make some dust. I would buy a vfd in a nema 4 enclosure for longevity
