I can get a 9 year old unisaw (5 hp, 3 phase, 200 volt motor) in good shape (needs only new cord and plug) with 52 inch Beismeyer fence for $400, but not sure it will fit in my 2 car garage workspace. This space currently easily houses my Rockwell contractor saw with original fence. What is the footprint of a Delta unisaw compared to a Delta/Rockwell contractor saw? They look similar to me (contractor may even be larger due to motor hanging out the back) but I don't want to make a big mistake here. The unisaw is definite overkill for my abilities but it seems too good a deal to pass up. The 52" Biesemeyer is worth a lot by itself.
I don't have 220 V available in the garage, so I would either need to run a 220 V line or substitute a 110 V motor. Can this saw run a 110 V motor?
What do you think?
Thanks.
Dave
