have a saw (unisaw, actually) I need to run. need to rip some 2x4's, to
a few various widths)

if I put a BRAND new blade on the saw, 24 tooth, what do you suppose
would happen if I try to start the saw up (being a manually-fed saw, it
starts with 'no load' of course) then rip those 2x4's with it?

I realize I "should" have a bigger rotary converter for the task (or
change the saw to a smaller 3 hp motor), but, as a 'stopgap measure',
might this work, or, uhh, what?

I have no -other- three-phase machines here (at the garage of my house)
I can start up on my ol' arco HD-3 model rotary-converter, either...

thanks for tips, ideas, and WAGS on this one, guys
