So I had my friend who works at a motor shop check on the cost of converting to the optional 3hp, single phase 220V motor for my "new" radial arm saw to avoid the 3 phase issue. His cost with discounts is $1500!!! On a saw that retails for $3k. Oh well... I guess I'm either going to have to Ebay it or get creative. How about a gas powered radial arm saw? Hmmm....

Just buy a phase converter. A 3 Hp static phase converter will only cost you $200. Just supply that from a 30 amp 220 single phase breaker and your RAS is alive and kicking.

I vote for WG's suggestion, of a phase converter.

I believe that is an Italtian made RAS, that B&D had make the last of their Dewalt RAS sold in the US back in the early 80's.

Good call. It is Italian. Now I'm thinking of a rotary converter. You can get a 5 HP for about $400. But I've got to get someplace with a 220 outlet first...

I'll be the odd guy out and say sell it and take the profit to by something you want and can use.
