Not really interested in a rotary. With my other equipment I use VFDs to take advantage of the speed and reversing features. The saw is going to be on or off so I was thinking static would work fine even with losing a bit of power. There isn't a great link, but these are the specs cut and...

Here is a schematic of my table saw. This saw has a scoring motor and a main motor.

Hello all! I picked up a new table saw with a 7.5 three phase motor. I want to convert it to single phase so I ordered a static phase converter. I was wondering if I can wire it after the magnetic breaker to preserve the factory switches. I know I would have to move some wiring around to drop...

Slow indeed, It does look like that.

Does anyone know the original manufacturer of the Powermatic hps 126?

Good idea tx

Jody does a great job and I have watched hours of his videos. It is taking all my willpower to not break out the mig and just weld it up.

I will do that. I have been practicing and my tig welds are pretty funny.

Hopefully Sunday I can start welding together my tablesaw mobile base. I am going to tig weld it together since I am new at it and it would be good practice. I picked up 1x3 1/8 stock for the project. I could really use some help picking up the correct rod and tungsten. I have ER70-2 3/32 rod...

Last weekend I went to RS Phillips in Vernon NJ, I must say what a great bunch of guys. The yard is full of all types of metals and they encourage you to walk around the yard and take a look. Thanks for the recommendation. Hopefully in the next few weeks I can post what I build.

Not new, but gently used

I think Denman and Davis Steel in Clifton might be closed. I googled them and it seems like they possibly sold the business, and the number was disconnected.

Thanks for all the input guys! Next week I have a few days off and will post what I come up with. I looked at the Metal Supermarkets website and found some good info, so I will start my hunt there. I am really hoping that I find my "go-to" place since I have some other projects in mind. monk302...

I'm in Bloomfield, NJ. I looked at their website site place seems huge, they are about a hour from me.

Looking to build a mobile base for my tablesaw, a couple hundred pounds i'm guessing approximately 3' x 7 '. I am looking for a place that would be somewhat helpful in the north Jersey area to buy the steel from. I am not even sure what stock size I should use or what it would be called, any...
