GREAT idea, but... I do not have 220 in the garage!!!Just thinking...WWTD ( What Would T Do...)
I would want to restore - and modernize a classic like that. That would mean finding a motor and VFD - like are commonly found on modern variable speed wood lathes. This would allow you to have a variable speed saw - while maintaining torque at lower speeds - so you could cut virtually all materials - from balsa wood to, to plastics, to metal. Yes, it will cost a little more - but not as much as you might think.
Use Searchtempest.com to do a nationwide search of Craigslist. As well E-bay often has such on it. VFDs can be bought from providers that will program them for your needs.

I know...Well....shucks....
I have had the discussion with a few members and the box is on the inside wall one wall away from the garage, and I am a 24 foot slab away from where I want / need the power!Sounds like a Christmas wish....."Santa....all I want for Christmas is 220 in my shop...." Who knows - if you are a good boy all year......
Do you have the “fiber terrorists” in your neighborhood? Maybe one could moonlight boring a hole under the slab and add orange flex.I have had the discussion with a few members and the box is on the inside wall one wall away from the garage, and I am a 24 foot slab away from where I want / need the power!
I am pretty sure I have scared all of them away.Do you have the “fiber terrorists” in your neighborhood? Maybe one could moonlight boring a hole under the slab and add orange flex.
Or celebrity : Hannibal Teesquare! LOLI have been known to don a leather mask and fire up a chainsaw when uninvited guests in suits show up.......
A slower motor and larger pulley would be better, but Hank can use a 2” pulley if he switches to a belt designed for that eg a cogged belt or a flat ribbed belt or…A 2" diameter pulley on a 3450 RPM motor gives me 3042 FPM blade speed.
Isn't 2" pretty small to drive a conventional v-belt? May be better to go with the slower motor (1725 RPM) and a 4" pulley.
