DoAll Band Saw - $775 (Rough and Ready, CA)

I'd get it if my feet didn't have to get wet.
 
We could strap it to a couple of inner-tubes and shove it toward Hawaii, you could pick it up, when it washes ashore.
 
I agree, Smokin deal.
Cheers
Martin
 
Now that right there is progressive thinking :)

His lift or engine hoist will need beach tires.

I am actually corresponding with the owner, now to see how much the shipping is going to be. My other problem is going to be powering it converting my single phase. This set up will be a step up from my SWAG table, and the Milwaukee portable band saw. I have to research power, I have seen it discussed here a lot, but never thought I was going to need it. What would be the best approach? We'll see how this works out.

That's quite an undertaking! Hope it works out.

As for power, the cheapest approach (and the one I'm using) is the SPC (static phase converter). The available hp is decreased by about 1/3. They can be used with an appropriately sized 3 phase motor to build a rotary phase converter.

VFDs (variable frequency drives) have become very popular and give some very attractive options. They are not plug-n-play. You must have one for each 3 phase machine.

RPCs (rotary phase converters) are the traditional approach. I have a 7.5 hp rpc that I used for a while. I hated the continuous whine (even with it in the next room). When my wife started to complain about the electric bill I decommissioned it and reconnected the SPC.
