Hello,
i was wondering if you could give me some advice. I’m just setting up a garage woodshop and I have an older craftsman 14” but would like to replace it with this bandsaw if worth it.
the listing says: “Rockwell Model 20 Vertical Band Saw, does not run, possible electrical issue with the 3 phase controller, switch replaced but did not fix, no rip fence, dents and scratches, as is.”
Do you have a guess as to a likely fix to the electrical issue would be? I don’t have phase 3 power what would your suggested fix be? A VFD and keep original motor (would that potentially fix the electrical issue? Would it allow for variable speed?), replace with 1 phase motor? Currently just plan on woodworking but of course having the ability to slow down and cut metal if I ever were to need it would be ideal if not too costly. Grizzly currently has their 2hp TEFC for $330 (10% off). Also I plan on running it at 220v, but their 110/220 motor is the same price as their 220v, is there any reason to buy the fixed 220v over the convertible 110/220?
How difficult would be a VFD addition?
what would you see as a good price for the saw?
This is the motor sold by grizzly would it be a compatible replacement?
