Fence is in great shape, has a sweet table out to the side with lower shelf, no rust, but, no power cord.

So, is there a resource where using model # or something he can find a manual or any schematics for how to hook up the cord?

What are the chances of finding a .pdf users manual?

(punk) kid found it for $250!!! He sucks!! lol

He showed me a video of loading it at the sellers house and someone called a tow-truck to lift it into the bed of his F150. He shared that with even a couple of his friends (all late 20's somethings) there were some choice words and grunts...as you would expect it's a tank.

Sorry to post this as a definite redundant question but did y'all know doing a topic search on here for Unisaw makes my CPU smoke??

Thanks in advance.

This won't be a huge complication...but it will be one nonetheless. The guys over at OWWM sear that 3 phase is a better deal, the motors are more simple to work on....and that is true. Of course he could chose to replAce the motor with a single phase, for somewhat more money.
