Phase Converters for Woodshops
Planers, joiners, shapers, wide-belt sanders, and dust collection. Most woodshops with one or two large machines fit a 5–15 HP Phoenix unit.

Heavy-duty planers and wide-belt sanders are the largest loads in most woodshops — typically 5–15 HP. Size the converter to your largest machine.
Dust Collection
Central dust collectors run continuously and often have the largest motor in the shop. They're a motor load, so standard NL models work well.
Shapers & Moulders
SCM, Felder, Powermatic, and Northtech shapers run 3–10 HP spindles with variable load. Phoenix balanced output keeps speeds consistent through the cut.
Shop-Wide Coverage
One converter handles your entire shop. Planers, jointers, shapers, sanders, and dust collection can all run simultaneously from a single Phoenix NL unit.
