Most shop equipment such as, drill presses, milling machines, band saws, lathes, or presses, that are efficient enough for a shop, runs off 220v or 480v three-phase.   However: most homes are only equipped with 220 V single phase. Their are many times people want to start a machine shop, at their home, but three-phase power is not available. The phase converter is the solution to that problem.   Phase converters can get very expensive, depending on the amount of machines that you intend to have in your shop. Phase converters can be purchased in all sizes. However, to purchase one that would take care of a complete machine shop, could cost thousands of dollars.   I have built quite a few of these converters over the years. A example of how cheep one can be built, I rode by a factory in my area, which had added and discarded some machinery. One of the machines was a blower with a 30 hp motor on it. I asked a manager if it was for sell. He said, you can have it free of charge. Keeping in mind the motor is 90% of the cost of a phase converter. All motors use with a phase converter does not have to be this large. You size the motor for the amount of machines (total horsepower of all the machines) you intend to operate. With the 30 hp motor, I supplied three-phase voltage forI  a complete machine shop Two to 5hp units, are the most common converters used.   With this book, you could 50% or more, by building the unit, your self.
