just making random auto parts, mostly aluminum.
Get an electrician to install it, should be a cake walk. I've done several. HZ is not a problem, just make sure you have a big enough breaker to handle it. FYI, I grew up with a a machine shop in the garage, I spent a summer making Harley Davidson Valve Guides. Never used a CNC, learned to do it all old school with mics and calipers.
I was a certified welder for several years too, looking later to set my welding stuff back up and do some metal art work again.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
