Hello everyone, first post so go easy on me. I'm a complete novice and I'm bound to get some terms wrong.
My name is Matt and I've been looking around your very helpful forum for some time gathering information, researching and such.
I've been looking to start some wood working as I have access to a reasonable amount of hardwood (not sure on type) which is milled but very weathered. Sizes are generally 100 x 100 and 2400 long or 100 x 150 and again 2400 long which i would like to rip down and make some things (not really decided yet). So i figured my starting point would be to acquire a table saw.
By chance i recently stumbled upon a HAFCO ST-12D what I think is a very reasonable price. Now this is where I'm a little bit lost and would like some advice or steering in the right direction.
Firstly the saw is a 5 hp 3 phase machine. Do I use a static inverter to run it single phase, rewire the motor as i think it's possible to run it single phase that way or remove the 3 phase motor and buy an equivalent single phase motor? Another possibility is to have 3 phase run to my property, pending price from the utility company.
Also as most of my material is at least 100mm high I would really hope that the saw would handle this without flipping the material. I've read that the ST-12D is only able to cut a depth of 95mm. Now this is where I might look really silly but is it possible to use a slightly larger blade or is 305mm the absolute maximum for this machine?
I hope the above is easily followed and i welcome your advice, thanks.
