'Unisaws' are cabinet saws with, generally speaking, 220v motors.



Not sure what that means. My Unisaw has the older bullet style RI
motor that can be wired for 110 or 220. Instructions are right on the
motor plate.


But the newer ones are all 220 with 3 or 5 HP


Can't argue with that. However the OP's description of the saw as "an
old one with a big 110 volt motor" made it sound as if it was one of
the older saws ('1940s-1950's) with a RI (bullet style) motor that is
in fact 110/220. 'Older' of course is a relative term.
