You may be referring to me. I don;t have the saw any longer but it was a
full size saw with a direct drive induction motor.
Blade was mounted directly on the motor shaft. The only problem with that
set up is that the blade height was restricted by the motor. Very smooth
and quiet though.


Yeah I thought it was you, CW. Did not want to say with out knowing for
sure. I bet that saw was smooth, what happened with it?

It's still working just fine for the guy I gave it to. I wanted a better
fence and really couldn't fit one to this saw. Also, the limitation with the
depth of cut was annoying. Only paid 300.00 for it and had it for 7 years.
Paid for itself several times over. Now have a Hitachi hybrid with Vega
fence.
