I'm still getting my 36" bandsaw set up... the infrastructure to house and feed it is a significant project! Anyhow, I still have not settled the motor issue. The saw has a 5 HP 3 Phase Ajax motor that has new bearings and it tests out fine. Lacking 3 phase power I either need a convertor (probably go with a rotary if I go that route) or change the motor to single phase. I've found a Baldor motor, L1410T, that looks like a viable option. The particular vendor ad I looked at says it comes with a starter--I don't know what that means exactly but a separate box with a button on it is shown in the photo.
I looked the motor up on the Baldor web site but don't fully understand the specifications.
