Half right Dave, you don't need 3 phase in your house (very expensive to get) to ru a 3 phase motor. What you need is a VFD controller from Rob Frink and the 3 phase motor he provides. That setup can run on 220v and some even on 110v. Be kind to yourself and, if you want 3 phase solution (the best), then see Rob Frink. End of story.
What dc controller do you have? If it won't handle at least a 1 hp motor drawing 10 amps or so then it's not going to help you. There's no such thing as a regular supply cheap dc motors that fits this requirement that I've ever found.
Both the VFD setup and a 1 hp Leeson DC motor with controller start around $600 I think. If you can spend in that range the least you should do is verify the price with Rob Frink and if the VFD is feasible, do it....
