Wilson Radial Arm saw

[Dave Norris]

Good Morning All,
I answered an ad about a Wilson Radial Arm Saw. I've always had my heart set on a Dewalt, but this Wilson seems enticing. I checked at OWWM, and the posts seem favorable. I still have to find out the crosscut etc. The only drawback I'm seeing at this point is it may have a 1 1/8 srbot, which could make blades a bit of a challenge, as I was thinking of using it as a dado station.

Does anyone have any experience with a Wilson?

Thanks
Dave

Ps It's 3 phase, 5 hp, so I'm also going to post in the workshops forum about phase converters.
