    and I got a chance at a 2.5 hp 240 volt 13 amp motor (used) for $118
    how would this go with 10amp houshold power?

    You won't get the full 2.5HP out of a 2HP VFD running a 2.5 HP motor (well OK you may get it for a while but not for long) - the reverse is OK as the VFD output current can be restricted to 2HP operation.

    m8..... 10amp in a shed
    So you get your lathe going and get stuck into it and the compressor kicks in........
    I have to admit that i have no lighting in my shed but i do have a chunky 3 phase wire and seven 3 phase outlets, then 6 or 7
    vfd's for speed and other control.
    You really want to get more power or you are really gunna struggle.
