Got a new router table!

[Mark Ashmeade]

Well, not quite a router table, but that's what I'm going to use it for initially!

It's a Moak #7 shaper, with router collets, but no spindle. I'll get one eventually, I suppose. 7.5HP Baldor motor, so no problems bogging down :)
The table's a big one, 40" x 42".

Just got to figure out how to get it out of the truck !

Do you already have a RPC? That is a monster!

[Mark Ashmeade]

Yup, got a 10HP RPC, which in itself is a beast.

New/used? Which one did you get, thats the size I am looking at.

what is an RPC???

what is an RPC???

Rotary phase converter, question prompted by the fact the Moak is 3 phase and too big for a single phase input VFD (variable frequency drive) and I figured he wanted better than a SPC, static phase converter.

I got a GWM, used for $500. It's a cast iron motor frame, absolute beast of a machine. It must weigh a couple hundred pounds on its own.

I haven't wired it up yet, but it was demo'ed to me by the guy I bought it from.

Just got the Moak off the truck with the help of my neighbors. Top tip - Do not remove all 4 bolts holding the table to the pedestal. It will pivot on the front edge of the pedestal and fall off at a great rate of knots. DAMHIKT :)
