Well we're up and running! The motor's the right way around now (thanks to a fellow forum-ite), as is the blade (thanks to some propane-fueled encouragement on the spindle nut), and the fence is now on the correct end of the table. I love how heavy duty/over-engineered the fence is...

Good the hear.
Did you find any way to hold the spindle when undoing the nut.
These saws benefit greatly from an outfeed table. At least you have the holes there now for mounting one.

I couldn't hold the spindle itself - it was a case of sliding a steel bar through a vent in the blade that would hold firm against the table, and G-clamping the blade (the steel bar alone wasn't enough - it just bent!). The heat was the real winner though.

Next project is to get some kind of safety/emergency switch assembly. Currently the only switch is on the motor itself, on the outfeed side (perhaps explains why it was previously oriented that way), which really doesn't feel safe to use. I'd like to get something that can't be accidentally turned on while unplugged (NVR?), and with a big paddle for easy emergency stopping. Maybe even a pedal. Does anyone have any good leads on what to get for this and where? Perhaps ideal would be something the Triton Workcentre style, with the two plugs so that you don't have to hardwire the tool into the switch.

I've not seen one with sockets. HEre is one with an IEC plug? Remote START/STOP switch with Mounting Bracket - Appliance Plug Type | Electrical Switches & Leads - Carbatec and here are the hare & forbes switch option. No idea on other options, just two places I'd looked at.

I bought one similar to these 3 or 4 years ago for my router from the same company - a sponsor here. Works fine with the Triton. They have a plug and a socket so it’s a simple connection.

Problem is they are only rated to 10A I think, which may be under rated for your saw?
i bought a couple of NVR switches online that I had to hardwire in and they last about two years before melting the plastic holding the contacts. They were on a 2000W saw.

That might work out ok - my motor is 1.5hp and 8.5A, so probably alright for one of those NVR switches.

That's one mean looking fence on that saw and and it appears that the fence also tilts looking at the photo. Is that right?
The switch that warrick links to appears to be the same as what is in my 2hp saw and never gives any trouble.Dallas
