Thanks

One of the woodworking catalogues has a single phase Unisaw motor for
$359. I need to buy one sometime but I need to sell some stuff to pay
for a new motor.

I have looked at this before. Do you have plans for the specific
motor? I see try this size capacitor or that size. Or maybe I need to
look at the webpages and pay more atention.

That is too steep for me. I can use a static converter for under $100 and it
will work fine. I paid $350 for the saw and going up another $400 is too
much for me.

I have used a static converter when I had my Yates 18 inch and it worked
great.
I have built rotary converters from old 3 phase motors for friends in the
past. If I can't find an easy solution I might just do it again.
Thanks

The Unisaw motor is kind of special. It has two tabs welded to the case and
they straddle a piece of the casting and a blot goes through it.
That is why these motors are so expensive.

Not trying to gloat. The problem, is I am trying to set this shop on a
budget. I am used to pro tools but can't afford them.
I just bought a 1o inch saw (Delta) on a 10 foot welded frame with huge
wheels. It has an eight foot long Excalibur sliding fence on the left, a
unifence and a 6 foot table on the right and out feed tables all built in to
an 80 square foot package. The problem is the tablesaw seems kind of wimpy.
It is a Delta and has a cast iron top but a sheet metal base. I just happen
to have this 3 phase Unisaw sitting around unused and thought I should use
it.

To me, the rotary solution with a good, quiet old motor is so simple.
They are dirt cheap. I actually have three around. The first was a two
horse. Wanted to run something larger so went shopping for motors.
Ended up buying a 7 1/2 and a ten. All work well but I don't really
need them all. Don't have 100 bucks wrapped up in the three including
the caps and relay.

Check e-bay for a three phase idler motor. Get a couple of caps. Set
up a rotary converter. In a one man shop, you can't use more than about
one tool at a time (figure in the compressor running by itself when it
will). A converter big enough for the Unisaw will run anything else you
might, in the future, want to add on. Heck of a lot cheaper than 300
bucks and you're set to do whatever you want in the future. BTDT.

Ah. Maybe someday I'll have the pleasure!

Yes - The Old Woodwroking Machines site www.owwm.com
has two excellent FAQ articles on 3 phase

Too steep for me too. I did a similar job on my Wadkin, paid half of
that and thought I'd over-spent.

I've never seen a $100 static converter "work fine". Those capacitor
box converters are a complete PITA.

Ah, the lead-up to the drive by gloat. 8-)

I have a motor out of a delta contractors saw. Probably not enough horses
for you tho.
