    The mag switch powers the VFD, the vfd buttons turn the motor on and off. The built in braking is enough to do the job, you can add a braking resistor if you want it to work faster. Not sure what...

    This is my saw, its a 20" Rockwell 3 phase running on 220. The vfd is mounted in the column and gives you the advantage of variable speed as well as braking....

    They are nice saws, I have one, an earlier version with the cast aluminum motor cover. Good luck on a VFD for 7 hp. They stop being reasonable after 3 hp. For a motor that large you are looking at...

    You might try posting a wtb ad over on owwm.org's BOYD forum. That may scare up some parts. I rebuilt a newer version of the same 20" saw a couple of years ago, also 3 phase with the VFD mounted in...

    Could be the tag was removed, on mine and others, its up on the non-rotating arm. The last digit or two is probably different depending on motor configuration. Posting a picture would help. ...

    For 5 bucks, you cant argue with a tool that gives you good results. Not taking anything away from the OP, I'm glad that he has a good saw that has paid for itself many times over. From my own...

    What is the runout? You need to measure it with a dial indicator to know for sure. They can be had for fairly cheap at HF, about 20 bucks with a magnetic base. You can try and take it on a smooth...

    The 36-750 is a hybrid saw, which means that the internals are hung off the top rather than being bolted to the cabinet as a true cabinet saw design (like the unisaw). Most likely this is a chinese...

    There are ways around the 1" miter slots. One way is with using aluminum miter slot extrusions as a filler, the other is milling some UHMW plastic. Both work fairly well.
