With the economy as it is I would say look for a used one. Chances are you will find one that someone is letting go for the holidays.

Anyways I decided to just use BLO on the whole thing and it seemed to turn...

Since im using a very little portion of the mohaghany I think I might just stain the mohaghany with the minwax then shellac it and use BLO and shellac on the rest.

Does anyone know what the NEMA frame size of the R4511 motor is? I cant figure it out because the dimensions are not matching up.

So hear is my thinking: The steel city version offers a 3hp motor on there granite saw and apparently the r4511 is a steel city saw with ridgid branding and a crap fence and smaller motor. So would...
