Converting 3 phase shop to single phase

[Wayne0928]

I purchased a farmette that includes a machine shop wired to power several 3 phase machines (lathe, milling machine, etc.). It has a 3 phase generator/converter that you kick on to use the machines. I'm converting the space to a wood shop, replacing the machinery with single phase tools. Question: Would there be any advantage to modifying the generator to power the single phase equipment to lessen the load on the 150 amp supply coming from the house?
