[TheForge] replacement 4X6 horiz band saw

[John Allen]

I got a question since we are talking about cutting equipment.

I only have 1 phase at my shop and I am in need of a swiveling head
chop saw. The cheap ones are no longer usesble since I want to
permanently attach it to a frame and make a L table to hold stock. I
have seen many 3 phase ones but I am hoping I don't have to buy a 3
phase and replace the motor. A 3 phase converter will cost the same
amount and end up sucking more electricity in the long run.

Thanks,
