Comments:

I acquired this machine at a warehouse sale in Merrimack, NH. This site had a machine shop that was abandoned some time in the past 18-years, and the building was being renovated. This and a Craftsman 6" jointer were the last of the tools. This saw as a shop badge for the Vermont Log Buildings, Inc., which has apparently gone out of business and I assume this saw was purchased from them and used in the shop. It has a 5 HP 3 phase moter, capable of operating on 208, 220 and 440 VAC. My plan is to restore it, get a RPC to provide 3-phase 220 VAC and operate it in my shop.

I have contacted the Original Machine Company and downloaded their manual for the equivalent machine they currently manufacture. I will eventually add the lower chain guard, and a spring return. I was advised that if and when the front on/off buttons need replacing, their endcap and switch combination will fit my saw. Mike at Original Machine was very helpful.

Update (2-23-2019). After a long time, focused on the kitchen rennovation, last week, I cleared out a large amount of scraps that had collected around this saw. I also finished my research into the electrical aspects, and i extended the 3-phase wiring to the cutoff switch and motor starter of this saw. I replaced the old power cable from the motor when I discovered, while changing the strapping from 440 VAC to 220 VAC, that the insulation in the cable was rotted. I changed the transformer strapping in the motor starter, a simple moving of two leads, both properly tagged, and connected the power line at the RPC. Turned the 220 on to the RPC, started the RPC, threw the cutoff switch, and when I pushed the “ON” button, the motor started and turned in the correct direction! Now, I can proceed to tear down this beast, clean it and paint it in my shop livery, Rustoleum Champaign Mist (Craftsman Power Bronze) with gloss black accents.

Comments: The motor starter, before restrapping. Note the white and black wires connected to each other. These were removed from the splice and plugged into available studs on the starter.
