The motor that converts my supply to 3 phase has a 5 pin outlet but my new drill only has 4 wires.
Can I use a five pin socket on the drill and just miss one of the pins ?

Yes. The fith pin is for a neutral connection rarely found in uk 3 phase installations but standard in rest of Europe,
Just wire up the three phases and most importantly, the earth. Oh yes do use a plug on the drill not a socket!!
