240 volt motors on 208 volts

[Kilowattage]

I have a customer that has a woodworking shop that is currently running his equipment on 240 volt single phase with one or two machines operating on 240 volt three phase. He will be moving to a new shop where the service is 120/208 volts three phase. Would it make sense to get a large enough three phase transformer to boost the voltage to 240 volts and feed a separate panel? Or purchase individual transformers for each machine? Looking fo ideas on how to cost effectively do it? Single phase 240 volt machines quantity of 6-8. 3phase 240 volt machines quantity of 2.

Most 240V motors will run fine on 208V unless the voltage is on the low side; many are rated for both voltages. If there is a problem the most cost effective solution IMO is to replace the motor.
