I don't think a gear hobber would fit in you basement or garage for that matter. Somehow, the reality of having 408-440 3 phase power in a residential enviroment would probably blow you and your utility provider away. Around here, just the cost of setting a pole and the cans is over 10K. That doesn't include the drop and the inside panel work. I'd not be fond of wiring a machine with that kind of power myself. My wife and I have a good friend with a 9 million dollar shop in a Detroit suburb that allows me access to his machine tools in the event that I need something large machined. He even has a 100 ton vertical broach.
