    Had a slight change of heart... Dropped the hammer (The wife won't know until the morning, I'm safe for the next 7 hours!) on a 2hp 3Phase and a VFD. The original motor was a single horse 3 phase, so the 2hp should be just fine. I may need to fabricate a plate for it to live on, but this project is just getting more exciting by the day.

    My 17" bandsaw is 3hp single phase and is in a power point without any problems, including a small crapco dust extractor, both connected to a double power point controlled by a contactor, so they come on together.

    Its a beast alright. Big tough old iron.

    I could have got a Wolfenden 24" but declined as it would encourage me to do things that I should not be doing with my "battery operated" status.

I'll use the same method to get it under the tyre - Hope to get that done today, I also have to sand down the table today (sooo expensive to get it surface ground) so I'll do an Andy Rawls and 40, 80, 120 it... See how it turns out. Will report back.

    Sikaflex 291 is an excellent product. Literally sticks like $hit to a blanket. We have had to cut it away when replacing a marine grade plywood floor glued to the aluminium floor frame of our 6m Cairns Custom Craft mini-game boat.

    Woodworkers should also consider the Sikaflex SikaBond® PVA Woodworking Glue especially if using timbers such as Tas Blackwood. It has a different pH to Titebond & Selleys PVA's and doesn't "blacken" glue joints or stain surfaces as much.

    And, if you read the other part of the label, will give you cancer, destroy your organs and likely cause catastrophe if you get it in your hair... ! Fun stuff. It worked very well though. Well, at hand-spun speeds the wheels feel good and even, I'll pick the motor up next week and try to get it all sorted the week after. Then I only need to find a 16' blade. Simple!

    I would give it's original motor a go first, see if it is a problem. I highly recommend Henry Bros in Sydney, they mail order mine to me, I am currently using Lennox Woodmaster B, bimetal, can't fault them for the money.
