If you have 3 phase power available, OK. If not, how will you run it?

Variable frequency drive. Least thats how I would run it.

Buy a phase converter, 220 in 3 phase out.

the power is not the issue to be concerned with on an old metal lathe guys -- Wear and slop in the working side is the issue - Motors are easily changed/modified -- wear and slop in the working range are not.
