3 phase to single phase

Hi everyone. I am being offered a 3phase jointer/planer for what seems a fair price. No probs there. The problem I have is I only have single phase on at home and do not want to go to the expense of buying a converter.



Does anyone out there know if I can simply remove the 415v motor and install a 240v motor of equal hp?



Any help would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks....Daryl. :?
