Thread: Woodfast table saw combo?

We'll need a bit more info. Single phase or 3 phase? Motor size?
What exactly is still there? Any wiring at all?

3 phase. I will look for more info. Damien.

Match the starter to your motor size. I'm guessing around 3kW?
Something like this http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/WEG-DLW-E...item2c9f2ee815.
You can go slightly bigger but you need to keep it close so the thermal overload protection will be able to be adjusted within range of the motor full load current.
That should give you an idea of what you're up for anyway.
If you need a 3 phase lead and plug and a new socket to suit installed you will be up for quite a bit more.

People, I had another look at the motor. I could not find any other information about it. There was no plate on it anywhere so I just took some pictures and hope this helps.

NCArcher thanks for the detailed information and link. Regards Damien.

That is an ASEA 3 phase motor, details of motor will be on the fan cover end.

Thanks Ben. I will have to get a mirror and have a look. Damien.

Check that bit of paper in the bottom of the terminal box. It's possibly the motor connection diagram that has fallen off the terminal box lid.

According to the 1979 Blackwoods catalogue, that particular Woodfast combination was fitted with a 3HP, 4HP or 5HP motor depending on the diameter of the saw blade being 14", 15" or 16".

Thanks Chas, I would not like to see a 16" blade on this machine. Rather scary I think. Damien.
