Hello,
As per my previous post, I have a Tatry RAS. I managed to get it for
free(it was being tossed out.) I have this at home and realized it has
a 3 phase motor.
Of course 3 phase wont work at home.
I have called around to local woodworking and motor repair shops and
no one seems to able to help.
What are my options???

Phase convertor. It is absolutely unlikely you'll find a replacement
motor.

Having failed in finding someone to rewind it locally...
In your previous posting a couple links to sites showing ways to build
your own static converter were given iirc.
W/ a static, you'll lose probably 1/3 of the rated power, but w/ the
size it is, that unlikely to be an major issue. It will take a pretty
sizable power feed, however.
A rotary will probably be $300 or so commercially. There are several
manufacturers, Ronk is one name that comes to mind. A google will find
many and you might possibly have some joy on eBay...

...
For a single machine, a properly sized stationary converter is also a
possibility and will be cheaper--how much, I'm not sure. As previously
noted, w/ 4+ hp to start w/, losing even a third will be more than
you're likely to ever need in a home shop...
Options are pretty simple, replace the motor with a single phase one
OR go with a rotary phase converter to give you 3phase to run the
beast

Thank you all for the responses.
I called around localy for a rotary converter, and the prices were,
well, well beyond my means.
I did speak with one machine/woodworking supply that says that they
can supply a good single phase motor that should do just about
anything I nedd for approx $100.00 Cdn. I dont know if thats
expensive or not.
then I will have to enlist the help of someone that works in metal in
order to make the motor fit the cradle. I dont think the duct tape
will cut it in this case(j/K)
