I have a 3HP X5 Unisaw and would like to know if it is possible or if anyone has had experience converting or reconfiguring the motor to work on 120V as opposed to 220V?
The saw and the remainder of my belongings will be doing a 6-month tour of duty in a "temporary" residence as I explore the local real-estate market. The conversion is less a choice and more a lack of options as 120V outlets are everywhere but there appears to be only one 220V circuit in the house and that feeds the AC. I could certainly just hijack the 220V circuit but the fact that it is not my house makes me want to explore other possibilities before taking that step. Not to mention the pre-emptive "LEAVE IT ALONE" from SWMBO.
Whole thing is very depressing as I just got the saw a few months ago and have been tricking it out and doing really cool stuff with it ever since - and now I have to take it down, move it and possibly neuter it for a short time.
Thanks in advance for your help . . .
