I am looking to buy this delta rockwell unisaw. The ad doesnt say much other than 10" so I went out to look at it (1.5 hr drive) and made the humble mistake of not taking my digital camera. I got some specs off the motor but could not see anything that referenced horsepower. Here's what the motor says
3450 RPM
3 phase
208 v
7.4 amp
It a large motor and the amps didnt sound right so i checked twice and that's what it said. So now my pickle is either use a device to convert the 1 phase 220 in my house to 3ph or replace the motor (another ~$200). I read on another thread about a guy with a bandsaw in the same situation and the suggestion was to use a device from factorymation.
I will be building cabinets, bookcases and entertainment centers so I want a sturdy saw. This one has a long ext table. Unfortunately the miter and rip fence are AWOL.
Here's a photo
So, pass or go for it?

[edit]
