Phase converter
Piece of cake.  Need two motors, One 3phase of slightly larger cap
than your ironworker, and a single phase fractional motor  coupled
to it as a driver, and a good momentary switch to get the works
spinning.
Power is also input to two legs of the 3 phase, and once this is
running,
will generate the third phase.
Have not done this for years, but have built several in the past,
and this is my recollection.

Thanks Archie. My friend Chuck will appreciate your solution.

Sorry about this guys. I was so tired I did not intend to send this 
out to the list.

BTW folks start winding it down as I will be gone starting Thursday
morning to the MO-GIG flyin.
